Instructional Ideas

  1. As a semester-long project, teachers can assign students or teams of students to create a web page, app, or program by viewing a series of videos.
  2. After viewing a video and working to create the program, app, or web page that the video is teaching, teachers can have students critique the quality of instruction provided by the video.
  3. After viewing several videos and learning effective and ineffective techniques for creating screencast tutorials, teachers can have students create their own screencast tutorial. In these tutorials, students can be assigned to explain how they created a program, web page, app, and/or document on the computer. Teachers can save these videos and post them to a class website so future students can use them.
