Children Creating Maths Calculation Video Guides
So, you’ve just sat down to mark those thirty or so maths books and you come across one child’s book in particular that interests you greatly – you can’t quite work out where they’ve gone wrong or how they’ve arrived at the answer. You need the child, but they’re not here, they’re at home – how inconvenient!
I’ve been in this situation so many times with children’s work, particularly in mathematics. You really haven’t got the time to leave the marking and come back to it in the morning, so what can you do? Teaching children how to use apps like Explain Everything and Vittle has been a great success in my Year 4 class and has gone someway to solving this problem.
Screencasting is fast becoming a big part of daily classroom life. Teaching the children how to use this skill to drive their learning forward independently is having a real impact in our classroom.
I’ve been using video and screencasting as part of our flipped classroom but I've always produced the videos for the children. I'll certainly keep doing this as I've found it incredibly useful as it allows children to find their next steps and to know which challenge they are attempting when they arrive at school.
The children have been using Edmodo recently to save and collect work and information and then store it in their online 'backpack,' Edmodo's version of the cloud. They have found this incredibly useful as they are not losing documents and can post work simply from their backpack without searching for it. It also allows you to link your Google Drive account, which I have found incredibly useful. Easily share work from my library/backpack with the children.
So why ask the children to start creating their own videos and how did we do it?
