To help my Algebra students struggling with exponential functions, I created a
short Desmos tutorial video. I used Restream to record my screen and voiceover, focusing on a specific
problem that many students had encountered.
I used the following 5 key steps to produce my screencast:
Content Selection:I identified a specific problem area (graphing exponential functions)
and focused on a key example.
Screen Recording:I utilized Restream to record my screen, incorporating Desmos as the
primary tool.
Video Editing: I edited the video to remove unnecessary pauses and tangents, resulting in
a more focused and efficient tutorial.
Visual Enhancements:I added a title slide, arrows, and text highlights to guide viewers’
attention.
Audio and Visual Clarity:I ensured clear audio and visual presentation to enhance the
learning experience.
By using a user-friendly tool like Restream and focusing on clear
communication, I was able to create a helpful resource for my students. My students received the
additional support and help needed to better understand the concept of exponential functions in a short
period of time. This project demonstrates my ability to leverage technology to create effective
instructional materials.
