Everyone has heard of a green screen, but how do you use it effectively in your classroom to enhance digital creations, change the setting in stop motion animation and enhance the background during digital presentations? Green screens are used in the movies to make it look like the actors are driving across the desert, and it's used on TV to make it look like your local news announcer is standing in front of an animated weather map. It is easy and fun to use green screens in your classroom media creations. Green Screen by Do Ink is one of the easiest ways to get started. DoInk is our green screen app that is available for use. The DoInk app is a paid app that we have licenses for. If you are interested; it works just like a library book where you would "check out" the app for the duration that you are using it and then tell me when finished and I will "check it in."
The green screen continues to be used for book commercials and announcements. The list is endless for use, some include: information reports, reader's theatre, poetry talks, student creation, etc.
Spring Road News: The cast at Spring Road is busy using the green screen to record their daily announcements! It has added a sense of style and excitement to these daily broadcasts. Here is one example.
4th Grade Students at Clayton: This class began the year by doing a book talk and focused on the setting of their book for the background.
4th Grade Students at Spring Road: The students were learning about the mystery genre. As a part of their learning they had to write a mystery script and then video record it using the green screen and create a mini mystery movie.
