Hi, my name is Tamara Holt.
In this video, I will explain the benefits of student-made tutorials,
and offer some suggestions on how to record these videos.
So, what are the benefits?
1. Students understand better in a setting where
they are learning from peers, especially students that may not do well in
traditional classroom settings.
2. The student making the video has to know the
material well, forcing the student to become an expert on that skill. This lends itself to a deeper understanding
and higher probability that they student will remember it later. This student learns the material initially,
summarizes the material to write a script for their video, and records the
video stating the information again. Also,
chances are when the child watches the video, they were not happy with the
first recording so they record it again.
This enables the child to hear and say this information multiple times
throughout this process.
3. This method of teaching gives students a voice
in the learning process, and makes learning fun.
Now let’s focus on how to record these videos.
The first software I will recommend is ScreenChomp by
TechSmith for iPad. It is a free
whiteboard app with a variety of markers and colors for the student to record their
voice and everything they write on the screen.
It is uploaded to the ScreenChomp website where you will be given a link
or embed code. It is very simple and
user friendly for children.
Another screen-capturing software, this time for the
computer, is Jing, also by TechSmith.
Jing is free and can be used with Macs or PCs. This program allows students to record
whatever is on the computer screen along with their voice. Just like ScreenChomp, Jing also uploads to
it’s Screencast website where you are given a link or embed code to share the
video. Jing is very easy to use.
My third suggestion is iMovie by Apple. iMovie can be used on a MacBook, iPad, or iPhone. It is free on new Apple devices and can be
purchased for older ones. Students can
add pictures or videos and voice over these visual aides to teach the concept.
I hope you were able to find this video helpful to implement
student-made tutorials in your classroom.
Thank you.
