virtual+manipulatives+screencast

This screencast is using virtual manipulatives. If I had a student working on using the virtual manipulatives sight< I would assign a topic such as patterns. The students would then do a screen cast of what they do. They would have to talk out their thought processes on how they solved the pattern problem. This tool can help me as a teacher know how a child is thinking while solving math problems. After listening to them and seeing if mistakes were made, I will be able to correct them or give them ideas on how to solve problems. I can see this being used as a center. I can easily check their work.
