10 Ways to use the Library Makerspace Green Screen

The green screen is one of the most diverse tools we have obtained for the library's makerspace this year.  It can be used to support all content areas and just for fun!  Thank you DonorsChoose.

We use the DoInk app when creating green screen videos.  You can create images or videos using DoInk.  This app does cost $3 and is only available through iTunes, but it is super user friendly, and I highly recommend it.

Here are 10 ways we have used it or are planning on using it.

1.  Book Snaps- See this post to learn how to do this.  http://tenacioustinylibrarian.blogspot.com/2017/12/a-different-way-to-do-booksnaps.html

2.  Top 10 Letterman Style- We loaded these videos into Flipgrid.  This is a great way to appsmash and easily share out your green screen videos.  

3.  Weather Videos

4.  Meteorologist Videos

5.  Ecosystems

6.  Book Review- Place the students on the cover of their book to review it.

7.  US History Historical Events- Signing of the Declaration of Independence at  Independance Hall

8.  Talk Show

9.  Breaking News Story

10.For fun on whatever background a student chooses

The possibilities with the green screen are only limited by your imagination!  Happy making!
