Screen Recording in Merge EDU Apps
All the Merge EDU activity plans and STEM Projects include a video assessment option, so students can verbally share their learning and explain their thinking. Merge has made it even easier for students to record videos by integrating a screen recording feature into Merge EDU apps!
Follow the directions below to learn how:
1. Launch a Simulation or Digital Teaching Aid and tap the "record" icon
Launch any simulation or digital teaching aid in any of the Merge EDU apps, then find and press the pink “record” icon in the upper right corner of the screen. Note: the screen recording feature will work in all modes: 3D, Cube and World mode.
2. Select "Record Screen & Microphone" on the Pop Up Screen
A pop up will appear on the screen to ask permission to record your screen. Be sure to give permission by selecting “Record Screen & Microphone” when the pop up asks. Be sure to narrate your screen recording to explain what is happening in the simulation and / or explain your thinking!
3. When you're done recording, tap the "record" icon again
When you are done screen recording, tap on the “record” icon again, and a pop up message will says "Saving Recording". Your video will take a few moments to save, then it will save automatically to your photos app and will open immediately.
That’s it! Now you can share your video the way you normally would in class.
Note: Each time you restart the app, you will need to give permission to record the screen and microphone again.
