Show Me What You Know

Using video tools in the classroom doesn't have to equate to a full-scale movie production. Video tools give students voice and allow them to demonstrate what they know. You don't have to be an expert in the tool, you don't need to develop a full-scale production rubric; just let the students turn on the tool and let them show you what they know. Students use their own voice, in their own words. Here are some examples:

• Screencasting on the iPad is a new iOS 11 feature that allows students to walk you through their learning process without having to launch an additional app.
• Explain Everything is a powerful tool that literally lets a student explain just about anything from a simple problem to a complex process.
• Stop Motion allows students to demonstrate their learning step-by-step. They can walk through a math problem or a novel's story line or a timeline.

Have your students submit their work through Google Drive or Showbie and enjoy experiencing what your students have learned!
