Alice Keeler wrote a post this summer about a new feature in Google Classroom where students could submit a response to an assignment by recording a video. They would click on the option to record video under the create tab in the assignment and it would use the built in camera to record their ideas. I am super excited about this feature because it unlocks so much potential for student learning and demonstration of knowledge and mastery of content and concepts.
Unfortunately the new feature currently only works on mobile devices through the Classroom App. I have been working on some work arounds to do something very similar in concept and be as user friendly as possible. What I have found is using an website that uses the device's webcamera and records video on the browser. It doesn't share this information with other parties and users can delete the video from the site when they have submitted their response. The site is https://www.cam-recorder.com/. It is very user friendly as the user will have to allow the site to access the camera and microphone and when they are done it quickly downloads and saves to the devices download folder. There is an option to put the response to youtube, but youtube is only accessible for grades 8-12, and for our purposes this would be an additional step since we are putting the responses into Google Classroom.
