ScreenToaster Uses

There are many ways to use ScreenToaster in the educational setting. First it can be used for teacher training. There are many times that a demonstration is shown using new or updated technology software and someone is absent from the building or in another meeting. This would be perfect for those people to view the information at a later time. Another way to use this with teachers is as a refresher for how to do something with technology. We are often shown an example in an inservice and do not have enough time to practice and commit the procedures to memory. Create a ScreenToaster video and demonstrate how to use a Web 2.0 tool. Demonstrate how to view data in our grade book program or find different views of test results.

This would also be perfect for students to use as well. There are always students absent and those that need to be reminded how to do something. Create a folder titled "How To". Students can view how to reset their password, how to use word processing tools, how to change a mixed numeral to an improper fraction or how to create timelines. Now when a student needs that technology refresher they can view the video without waiting for you to finish helping someone else. This is a great time saver!
