EEND 713- Engaging E-Learning- Artifacts

I tools I chose to highlight for this class allowed me to engage with students during remote learning. While I had used them in the past it was during remote learning that I truly realized how helpful they were to connect with students and help them stay engaged with their learning.

Screencastify allows Chromebook users to record video tutorials, presentations, etc. You can record your screen, yourself, or both screen and self.  Videos are limited to 5 minutes unless you have a subscription. Videos are saved to Google Drive and can be shared via Youtube.  Here is a sample I created for classes conducting research on how to use one of our library databases. Screencastify can be a great tool for students to review instruction after class, or to preview skills before class. For remote learning, it is a great way to connect with students by including yourself in the video.

Google Docs is a part of the Google family of tools.  A word processor that allows users to create and edit files online while collaborating with other users. Google Docs are versatile and allow users to include interactive links and multimedia.  Teachers can share documents with students, and students can share with students for collaboration during group work, with real-time work and/or the history of any documents available for all to see. Here is a sample of my unit lesson plan which includes links to multimedia, and additional Google docs.
