ScreenChomp / iPad App

A video demonstrating how to form the letters of a name is a way to support students who are learning to recognize names.  Such a tool, ScreenChomp, an app for the iPad which resembles a whiteboard, allows the user to create simple demonstrations that can be replayed.  A replayable video can then become an independent teaching tool, a clear benefit for encouraging students to be active learners.  Students would have access to an auditory and visual model of how to identify and form letters of a name.  ScreenChomp keeps the written text visible, unlike VoiceThread, which fades the text after so many seconds.  With the choice of marker color and thickness, teaching points can be coordinated based on these options.  For example, letter colors could be alternated, or focus letters could have a thicker line.
