Carlene Bouley Module 5 Collaboration Task:  Screencast-o-Matic

Note: Highlighted area is the score.  If not highlighted it

is Not Applicable.

Screencast-o-matic is a free screen recording tool that allows us to create and share recorded

screens.   This is useful for teachers to assist students with modifications who need a task or an

assessment read to them, or to flip a classroom where the student watches the video in preparation

for the class.  The free features limit the recording times to 15 minutes and one can only publish to

YouTube.  However, the pro-feature provides for longer recording times and more places to publish like

Google Drive and Vimeo.  The pro features are for a fee however.  Overall, this a wonderful tool to

allow students to access content, facilitated by the teacher, any time they can.
