Loom Video Recording

Students will:

• Be able to create a video using the Loom extension and share it digitally.

Vocabulary Words:

1. Digital Video: A digital video is an electronic representation of moving and visual images (video) in the form of encoded digital data.

To prepare for this lesson:

• The teacher creates their own Loom account by adding an extension onto the Chromebook. This can be done through your Google account.

• Students create an account and add an extension to their Chromebook.

• The teacher should walk students through this process for accuracy.

• The teacher may choose to show the video tutorial to the students on how to create a video or demonstrate on their own.

• Loom provides video tutorials once an account is created.

Note: Loom is a very simple application to use. It also allows for comments and notes to be shared. There are also video recording shortcuts available.
