Screencasting

Screencastify is a simple video screen capture software for Chrome.

Explain Everything is an easy-to-use design, screencasting, and interactive whiteboard tool that lets you annotate, animate, narrate, import, and export almost anything to and from almost anywhere.

Create slides, draw in any color, add shapes, add text, and use a laser pointer. Rotate, move, scale, copy, paste, clone, and lock any object added to the stage.

Add new or existing photos and videos. Import PDF, PPT, DOC, XLS, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and RTF files from Evernote, Dropbox, Box, GDrive, WebDAV, Email, iTunes, and any app that allows you to open these files types using "Open In…". Export MP4 movies, PDF documents, PNG images, or XPL project files directly from your iPad.

Share a great idea... Explain a tricky concept... Help kids with their homework...

ScreenChomp for iPad helps you do it all.

Some of the most innovative teachers helped create ScreenChomp with learning and idea-sharing in mind. Here's what some of them had to say:

Eric Marcos – Lincoln Elementary Math Teacher
“With just an iPad and the ScreenChomp app, everyone can create on-the-go tutorials, mathcasts, or any sort of screencast. It makes screencasting a portable option - no wonky hardware necessary.”

Randy Micallef - 8th Grade Math Teacher
“ScreenChomp will help students review ideas, and it will help me have more consistent interactions with each student. I'll also have a way to re-assess and re-test a student’s understanding of specific concepts, and keep a record of those interactions through captures.”

Combing through the basic functions and features of a list of tools I've become aware of, to select some for further testing. Over the course of the week, the list of Screencasting tools that have been recommended to me, or that I've otherwise learned of, has grown to a dozen.

Knowmia Teach is a free lesson planning and recording tool for teachers and their students. It helps you create short video lessons on any subject and publish them on Knowmia.com so students, other teachers and the public can find them. Knowmia Teach makes it easy to bring in visual aids from multiple sources, organize them in steps (like slides in a presentation) and use your own voice, face and fingers to bring your lesson to life. You can design each step in the lesson, record illustrations as you draw them, and create sophisticated animation sequences with a simple stroke of a finger. We also give you the ability to describe your lesson in a way that makes it simple for anyone who is interested in the subject to find your video.

Knowmia Teach also has a Professional version called Teach Pro which enables additional features including the ability to record your interaction with websites and publish your lessons outside of Knowmia.com (YouTube and your iPad’s “Camera Roll”). For more info search for “Teach Pro” in the App store or go to: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teach-pro/id829034270.

Main features of Knowmia Teach include:

• Build your lesson out of smaller steps (like slides) so it's easy to manage and organize your lesson

• Create each step of your lesson on a separate whiteboard so you can seamlessly introduce new concepts

• Record everything that you do on the whiteboard as well as your voice and video to create the lesson step-by-step

• Use the shape tool to quickly draw common shapes

• Type text with any font/size directly on the whiteboard

• Import images, graphics or video clips from the iPad's media library and built-in camera - or paste in any image of your own

• Draw freely with multiple pen widths, highlighter and eraser modes

• Use the pointer tool to attract attention to anything on the whiteboard while recording it

• Publish the complete lesson to Knowmia.com with a touch of a button (limited to educational content up to 15 minutes per lesson)

• Secure lesson creation and publishing for students

Note that Knowmia Teach is a free tool for teachers who choose to participate in the Knowmia community. Students can also create lessons (video projects) though their videos are not public and they expire after 30 days. You cannot export video lessons to other platforms or websites. For that you need to purchase the Pro version.

Combining screencasting, desktop control, and an interactive whiteboard in one app, you’ll never have to turn your back to the class or audience again. Create a lesson or presentation, insert images, save and edit your project and record a screencast video you can easily save or share. Doceri does it all!

Control your lesson or presentation live with Airplay or through your Mac or PC. Annotate a Keynote or PowerPoint, or present your original Doceri project. Great for student projects, too.

Now Optimized for IOS7

CREATE hand-written or hand-drawn Doceri projects on your iPad, using sophisticated drawing tools and the innovative Doceri Timeline. Unlike other drawing and screencast apps, Doceri uses timeline-based editing so original lessons are always saved, even after a screencast recording is created. All drawing strokes, photos or hand-drawn objects can be cut, pasted or resized at any point in the timeline. This enables easy creation and reuse of engaging presentations and high-quality, flipped classroom screencasts.

CONTROL a computer through your iPad. When connected wirelessly to a classroom computer via our Doceri Desktop software, you can access and control any program or file on your desktop. Access all of your pedagogical materials through your tablet – even play flash video through your iPad. Download Doceri Desktop software at www.Doceri.com. You can also control your classroom AV system from the iPad with SP Controls’ AV Control Systems.

PRESENT anything from your Mac or PC connected to a projector, using Doceri Desktop software. Present without a computer through Doceri’s special support for Apple TV. Your audience sees only the presentation area of your Doceri screen - not the tool bars or rotations.

SHARE images, PDFs and videos any way you’d like. Rather than requiring login to a proprietary web site, Doceri lessons can be saved to your Camera Roll or shared via other apps you have installed on your iPad, so you can upload to your Web site, LMS or other platform of your choice. Share your images and video screencasts directly to YouTube, Twitter or Facebook from within the app.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY with this fully-featured free app. We’ve created Doceri with a watermark that will be added to the images, PDFs and screencast videos that you share. You can remove or customize this watermark with an in app purchase - we believe that you should be able to try all of Doceri's features before you decide to purchase and support our work via the watermark removal.

What Teachers are saying About Doceri

Doceri has consistently received an average of 4½ stars on the iTunes App Store. 94% of Doceri teachers surveyed in May 2013 saw an improvement in classroom management since beginning to use Doceri, because they can teach while moving around among their students to keep them on task.

“Doceri allows me to present a lesson from anywhere in the classroom; a big plus when trying to manage 32+ middle school students. To actually see what I am writing and replay it while facing my students with my back to the board is amazing! I can work out equations ahead of time, or live in front of the students.”
- Anne Whitman, 7th grade math teacher at Oakdale Jr. High in California

“I love that I am not stuck behind my computer to use my computer. With Doceri, I can teach and circulate to help with classroom management. The students like that they can write on the screen from their desks. They also like that I can sit or stand by them and still teach and write on the screen.”
- Kristine Marsden, Ocoee Middle School in Ocoee, Florida
