Screencast Tutorial
An ongoing instructional goal for me is to develop my reading intervention students into self-directed learners who set and monitor their own goals. The READ 180 Dashboard provides students with valuable information that they can use to set and monitor goals, as well as celebrate their successes. In the past, I have displayed the Dashboard on the Smartboard and talked through the various components while students watched. This approach was less than effective in terms of the students achieving a true understanding of the Dashboard or developing an appreciation of the information available.
With the screencast tutorial, my goal is to allow the students to access the tutorials in Google Classroom and watch them independently after a brief whole group introduction. This will allow the students to proceed through the tutorial at their own pace and pause as needed. It will take 3 tutorials to cover all of the information available in the Dashboard and the students will be held accountable by completing a short post-assessment after completing all 3 tutorials. Students will also be able to return to the tutorials when they have questions before they come to me, and it will be great for students who come into the class after the start of the school year.
My screencast production used adhered to the signaling principle by using several techniques such as highlighting and arrows to draw students' attention to the component being discussed. Extraneous pictures, sounds, and words were excluded in order to adhere to the coherence principle. My spoken narration was not presented as text on the screen to adhere to the redundancy principle. Arrows were placed close to the referenced component to adhere to the spatial contiguity principle.
