Screentoaster is a great way for Tecknowledgeable Teachers to reach students and peers for a number of purposes. It can allow us to create tutorials to show our fellow teachers how to go about doing things, and it can create direct instruction presentations for ‘canned’ lectures and skills lessons. What’s nice about the former is that fellow teachers can see exactly how things work and look on the screen, and what’s nice about the latter is that students can repeat as necessary until they ‘get it.’ To do a screentoaster tutorial on ‘How to do a Screentoaster tutorial’ posed a couple of challenges logistically, but I think the one below is going to be helpful. I couldn’t actually record myself recording, but I think you get the idea. Just click the play button below to play the tutorial, and look for the icon in the bottom right that looks like a target to go full screen. Make sure your audio is turned on so you can hear the instructions, and enjoy!
