Screencasting for your ELLs

Screencasting can be a great tech resource for helping your ELLs. It can help free the teacher up to help give individual attention to more students, while empowering other students to move ahead independently. Here's a screencast I made about screencasting using Screencast-O-Matic:

Two different programs you can use to do your screencasting:

Screencast-O-Matic - The program I use. Easy to use interface and uploads directly to YouTube or Google Drive, or download to your computer.

Snag-it - Chrome app. Can be used on Chromebooks, where SOM cannot, because it requires the use of Java. Syncs directly to your Google Drive.
