App Spotlight: Screen Chomp

ScreenChomp is an iPad app for creating videos with sound by working on a digital whiteboard. For the style of videos, think of RSA or Khan Academy. Here's a brief demo inserted from youtube:



Ideas for the classroom:

Individual students: Students could use ScreenChomp to create tutorials or explanations.

Small groups: Students can present explanations or tutorials to peers making use of videos created with ScreenChomp. Students can collaborate on ScreenChomp creations, taking turns with drawing, and speaking.

Whole class instructions: Teachers could record presentations in ScreenChomp and make them available to students to review instructions/processes/explanations.

Tip: Only one background can be placed in each screencast.

Caution: Ensure that students are following the school's acceptable/responsible use policy in the information that they provide in the screencast if videos will be uploaded to web hosting sites.
