Rob Morill does a great job in explaining why you should use Touchcast in your classroom. The video shows a few ways that you can use this FREE app. There is a Touchcast app for the phone, but it only acts as a remote for your tablet.

What Do I Use As A Screen?
It doesn't cost much to do. You can go to the dollar store and grab a plastic green table cloth or to the fabric store to grab any green material on sale. You can hang it with velcro or tape. If your school doesn't allow things permanently on the wall, then put grommets on it and hang with command hooks. You don't have to buy the expensive green screen kits. You can use a trifold board, green poster board and green duct tape. It will cost you under $10 to make and is very portable. You can sit students in front of it to green screen.
If you want to go miniature then all you can always coat the inside of a pizza box with tape, paint or poster board to make it even more portable. The trifold board works great too. You can have the students make puppets, tape it to a Starbuck's straw (they are green) and hold a green glove (bought at Walmart).

What Apps Do I Use?
For the iPad:
We like the Green Screening by Do Ink app. It isn't free and costs $2.99, but it is well worth it! It is the easiest app out there for simple videos. Veescope is another app you can use on the iPad. If you want a little more advanced videos, we would suggest Touchcast and it's free. For an Android Tablet: There are a few apps for the Android as well. Touchcast is available. Green Screen Pro costs $2.50. Green Screen App costs $1.49. |
