I am visiting our lovely 2nd grade classrooms every week to work with students on screen casting. If you are unfamiliar with screen casting, it is a digital recording of a screen (often a computer screen) usually with audio narration. In 2nd grade, we are using an app called Vittle (the free version for now) to make math thinking visible. It gives the students an opportunity to TEACH what they know. It's an incredibly powerful tool, and the kids really enjoy it. We are working on including math vocabulary, being clear and explicit in our instructions and steps, and maintaining a manageable volume - which of course can be very challenging with many students recording at the same time. Here are just SOME of the videos I was able to capture! *Students were working on demonstrating the "Make a Ten" strategy to help with addition problems!
