Best Practices for Video Screen Recordings

Option 1:  Google Hangouts Meet Recording

 

  • You want to record yourself and have students watch a video of you talking
  • You want to record yourself reading a book 
  • You want to record yourself giving students instructions on how to accomplish a task or assignment
  • You want to record yourself speaking and be able to show your students a presentation, flipchart, website, etc. 

 

Pros: Quick and easy method for recording and sharing the link.
Cons: If you are presenting your screen and showing flip charts, presentations, websites, and documents it works fine.  If you want to incorporate showing a video within this recording, the video you are showing within the screen recording will be "choppy".

Option 2: Quicktime Screen Recording

 

  • You want to record an instructional lesson that incorporates showing the students a particular video or videos, for example, you are explaining various concepts to students, then you want to show a video, and you want to continue your lesson and do it all in one video.  
  • You want a higher quality recording and are more concerned with your voice than students actually seeing you.  
  • The content you are sharing with students or staff is smaller and has more detailed text
  • The content you are sharing requires more attention to detailed text or writing and you need a higher quality recording. 
  • You want to do a screen recording from your iPad

 

Pros: Higher quality video.  Ability to show videos within the recording.  Can do it from an iPad.
Cons:  Your "face" will not be in the video.  There are extra steps with uploading and sharing the link to this video
