But how could this look in the primary setting? Through the creation of these screen captured videos, we look at how professional development, assessment, student engagement, and supplemental resources for learning can expand to beyond our classroom walls. Through a hands-on creations using screen capture software, we explore how to expand the learning, communication, collaboration, creativity and innovation to continue throughout the student’s entire day, not merely the 6 hours they are with us.
