Benefits to Instructional Videos
Flipping - Students can watch these instructional videos outside of traditional class time to prepare for the more hands-on application work they will do in class. Remediation - Students the need extra help can watch videos to gain more instruction, with the option to rewind and rewatch as needed. Enrichment - Students that are ready for additional content or challenges can use your recorded screencasts to extend their learning. Differentiation - There is only one of you, but there can be loads of videos you have created, allowing students to explore different content as needed or desired. Independence - With recorded screencasts students and teachers can get help on their own initiative and on their own time, without having to get face to face help for everything. From Eric Curts

Records only the tab you started on, ideal for a Maths video using Google Drawing or a single Doc.
Just records your webcam, not the screen Records the whole desktop, good for when you are using multiple tabs in your video. Option to have your face recorded (from webcam) and included in the corner of your video! Always check your microphone is working...sound bars should be moving up and down Allows you to see what the recording will look like as you’re recording. Option to record the audio coming from the website you’re on- generally not required if you’re recording your own voice. Get started
