Thing 6: Screencast

This video shows chore vocabulary. Each slide shows a picture, asks what a child is doing, then gives the verb. Once all chores are introduced, an A or B quiz is given followed by true or false.

This video tells a story about Dan wanting a cat. This would be used after a TPRS lessons to quickly tell the story with out circling questions.


Both videos make the spanish vocabulary clear and we're made by teachers. I found the second video to be more engaging. The structure of each slide changed. The first video felt very slow and was very repetitive. Both videos used pictures and clip art that we're probably found on Google Images. Annotation was used more on the first video, but only to show correct quiz answers.

I made this screen cast to show students what to do at a center. Recording these instructions has made centers easier because students can listen to the instructions as needed. I am also using Explain Everything to record students describing an invented school uniform to check for their understanding of clothing vocabulary and how to describe it in Spanish. Also, I have used this app to create QR codes so students can scan it and see the meaning of the word. This has been especially helpful in kindergarten and first grade where reading in Spanish is very difficult.
