Sample Student Assignment & Rubric using Screencasting

Screencasting is digitally recording information on a computer screen, often with voiceover audio recordings to accompany the visuals. Screencasting can be done with a variety of tools such as Screencast-O-Matic, Screencastify, and Explain Everything. Educational videos available on YouTube, Khan Academy, and TED Ed are often screencasts. Screencasts employ universal design principles by presenting material in multiple formats: visually and orally and are especially useful in online, hybrid, and flipped classrooms.
