Session Description
Screencasts enable instructors to quickly and easily provide a student-centered and engaging learning experience. Instead of trying to find existing video online, instructors can create a screencast which aligns with specific lessons or answers student’s questions. In addition to effective instruction, the screencast also allows for a more personal connection between the instructor and student(s). Several popular screencasting options are available for the computer, but we will focus on Showme for the iPad. Showme Interactive Whiteboard is an app that turns your iPad into a personal interactive whiteboard. Showme allows you to record your own tutorials and share them online or via email with students. Showme works well for students and instructors making instructional videos easy to create and share.
