iPad Screen Recording

While apps like Explain Everything and Seesaw have built in screen recording options, there are also times when you'd like students to be able to record themselves talking over and app/explaining their thinking, but that app doesn't have this functionality. Well fret no more, you can ask students to activate screen recording, one time, for the rest of the year, and then they can screen record anything they can view on the iPad, it will automatically save to the camera roll where they can review/trim it.

So now apps like Padlet, Adobe Spark, even narrating websites, and Google Docs, can all be captured with a tap and hold.

1. Open the “Settings” app
2. Choose “Control Center” within Settings and choose “Customise Controls”
3. Find “Screen Recording” and tap the green (+) plus button to add the screen recorder to Control Center in iOS, it will move to the “Include” section higher up
4. Exit Settings

Now you have enabled the iOS Screen Recorder.

How to Use Screen Recording in iOS

1. Swipe to access Control Center (swipe down from the top-right of the screen on any iPhone or iPad without a Home button, swipe up from bottom of screen on any Home button device)
2. Tap the Screen Recording button in Control Center, it looks like a little (O) circle button, this will count down from 3… 2… 1… to begin recording what’s on screen
3. Don't forget to enable or disable Microphone recording (audio capture) to go along with the screen recording if desired by long-pressing on the Screen Record button while in Control Center and toggling that setting on or off
