Deliver the goods!<\/h1>\n

Rather than creating<\/em> a unit on the Civil War, imagine working with an individual student or small group on a topic that fully engages them, but might be something you know little about. First\u00a0we looked at how to find resources in multiple formats<\/a>, to meet students’ different\u00a0learning needs and preferences.<\/p>\n

Now, how do we deliver those materials\u00a0in a way that\u00a0responds to students’ needs and also gives them some choice in how, when, and where they learn?
\n<\/p>\n

A quick n’ easy way to share materials in a way that allows students to control the pace\u00a0is screencasting. Yes, screencasting. Creating a video of lecture materials allows students to pause, stop, rewind and skim the content. It gives them a whole toolbox of pace control.<\/p>\n

That Civil War Powerpoint or Google Slides presentation you shared with the whole class? Sit down and voice your context notes to create a video students can\u00a0review on their own or revisit later.<\/p>\n

When students break off into interest groups to focus on just one\u00a0aspect of the Civil War? Create a screencast of important images, maps, or online resources customized for each group.<\/p>\n
