eLearning at Hagley College

When students are working at different levels of learning, it may be useful to create a screen recording. This could be a micro lesson for a small group of students, a flipped learning concept for students to learn before class or a lesson recap. The new Screen recorder in Stream is perfect for this and enables a "picture in picture" option too.   Step 1: Go to the Hagley Portal and select Office 365 Portal: Step 2: Select Stream .
