The student’s in Mr. Cochran’s 4th grade class have been learning how to round decimals to the nearest tenth, hundreth, or whole number. Today they used Educreations to demonstrate their understanding of this skill. I created some rounding questions, printed, cut them, and passed them out to each student. Students then logged into Educreations using the class code provided by their teacher. They started by writing the number they needed to round on the screen. Then they pushed the record button to demonstrate how you would round this number. (Side Note: When recording don’t forget to click allow in both places on the screen.) The students loved how it played back with their voice and their drawing on the screen. They thought it looked a lot like tutorials that you see on YouTube. When the students were finished, they saved their recording to their account. Since they joined using Mr. Cochran’s class code, he can view and manage all of the videos that his student’s create. He was also able to get an embed code and link to share the student’s work with parents.
