iOS 11 has several new features, including the Screen Recorder feature. The screen recorder feature enables you to capture of video recording of what you are doing on your iPhone or iPad – the video even captures your voice narration and VoiceOver!
There are many purposes for using the screen recording tool. Here are a few educational ideas:
Go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls > find Screen Recorder and select the + button.
Open the Control Center (slide finger up from the bottom of the screen). Select Screen Record (symbol is a solid round circle inside a ring – looks like a ‘target’). Once you select Screen Record, numbers will appear to count down when the recording will start. To stop Screen Record, select the red bar at the top of the screen then confirm that you want to stop the screen recording.
In order to turn on the microphone, do a long press on the Screen Record button. This will display the Microphone Audio on/off button.
