Educational Uses of Screen-o-Matic
Screencast-o-Matic
The process of taking the screenshots off the computer screen can be rather problematic and tiresome. But fortunately, there are ways in which we record the numerous workings on the screen. This procedure has been made by the use of an online source called "Screen-o-Matic", which is an online video recorder that can be used from any browser working in all prominent operating systems like Mac, Windows, and Linux CITATION Scr \l 1033 (ScreenCast, n.d.).
This is not the only function of this software, as there as numerous others when it comes to its use in the classrooms. This is because of easy and user-friendly nature, and other important features. One of which is the feature that allows the students and teachers to engage in video conversations with each other. This is particularly useful when it comes to sharing prompt thoughts and ideas that exhibit deep meaning and understanding. This excess to an easy medium helps to drive meaningful conversations and use the medium of internet and video recordings to enhance the classroom experience.
Teachers use this online resource to connect and build strong academic connections with all their class or individually with specific students as per their needs CITATION CHa12 \l 1033 (C. Hasanudin, 2012). The medium of video provides easier ways to mentor the students should they need help. This personal level of mentorship is sometimes necessary to drive a thought-provoking discussion on the initiation of a brainstorming session with one or multiple students. Other than that, this online resource can also store the presentation delivered in the classroom on a hard disk or upload them directly on YouTube, as per the requirement of the moment CITATION Zin11 \l 1033 (Zinoune, 2011). These videos can later be viewed at YouTube in ordinary quality or High Definition.
In short, Screen-o-Matic is an outstanding tool for a teacher as well as a student. It can help both teachers and students to synthesize useful information related to the requirement of their courses, and even edit the recorded video sessions to suit later purposes.
