In the past, someone watching your video would access it just from Google Drive. You can collect quick check-in videos to stay in touch with students, and students can provide one another with video feedback and comments.Īlthough Screencastify is already a favorite tool of many teachers, these new updates are certainly worth celebrating. Screencastify also allows users to submit videos.
That means you don’t need to use anything extra you can merge, cut, and rearrange multiple video clips right within Chrome. The editor now includes a zoom tool, blur tool, text tool, and crop tool. The Screencastify platform also lists you edit videos right from within your web browser. You can quickly record your screen right in your Chrome browser to create videos to share with students. Screencastify is really three products in one, with the ability for users to record, edit, and submit videos all in one place. For example, instead of writing a few paragraphs in response to an email - something a student might find confusing - a video response to a question or a video demonstrating a strategy can make a difference. Hearing a teacher’s voice, enthusiasm, and interest in a topic makes videos highly engaging for students.
Video tools can give students more ways to share their learning. If you’ve joined me for a webinar or workshop this year, you know I often talk about the power of video. There is a new version of the popular tool Screencastify that I can’t wait to tell you about today.
