Cameras

I am getting asked a bunch about cameras and filming (recording teacher) lessons.  So here are my thoughts....
  • You do not need a camera. Use your chrome book or laptop.  If you need one please come see me.
  • Use ScreenCastify.  Instructions are here on the blog somewhere! When opening it, chose "Camera Only" and it does not capture your screen.
  • When recording be sure to stay in the recording screen.
  • Have a helper watching to move or point the laptop (as you would a camera).
  • Edit it if you feel the need.
More thoughts!
  • I believe in making things simpler for classroom teachers. You already have a camera and software to make videos.
  • Don't use video editing software such as iMovie or Adobe's Premier.  See above.  KISS etc.  Stick to YOUR content, you are not making professional videos - you're teaching math or other content!
  • Sure, go ahead make a few good ones to see that it can be complicated and time consuming.

If you did (do?) have a camera...

  • Where does the video save? Disk, "phone"
  • Do you need to get it to your computer?
  • ​Will you edit it?
  • How will you get the video to Canvas?

Yes, I have answers to all those questions but....

A laptop and screencastify is pretty much... 2 clicks!
  • Click the copy sharable link button in screencastify
  • paste it into Canvas.
