I really like the Loom tool for screen casting. It’s convenient, easy to use and has a lot of free options. I used Loom in the classroom that I’m currently doing my student teaching for a nature conservationist project we did as part of a larger unit about endangered species. The students worked in groups of 4 to conduct research on a famous conservationist and create a poster to share their information. At my school we have a weekly “community meeting” where grades 1-5 come together in one space and grades take turns sharing student work and projects. We used Loom to create a video of the posters and had students share a brief description of each.
The art and craft of teaching with technology
Good to hear you found use for Loom in your placement.
