MCAS questions and Capture to the Notebook

Here is an example demonstrated in class using the screen capture tool to get MCAS questions from the DOE Website into Notebook. I am using the SMART Recorder to record the steps, along with a microphone. I then uploaded the video to the blog. It takes a little while to buffer and play. I think I need some additional practice.


This is another great way to make math movies(or mathcasts) and upload them to a blog, wiki or portal for your students.

Here are a few addtional sites that already have math movies/mathcasts uploaded and theK-7 Mathcasts 500 Prject. There are sample K-16 using mathcast.

Last summer I saw a teacher and a group of students from California present on making math movies using tablets pc's and posting online http://www.mathtrain.com/.

You can use the SMART Recorder or Jing to capture anything you see on your computer screen and share it instantly...as an image or short movie. I particularly like this tool because you do not have to upload the file and it makes the embedded code to paste into the blog or wiki.
