Screencastify, Making Independent Study A Breeze

Teaching from home, hmm... something we might not feel equipped to do. So many different questions running through our minds. However, I think I found a resource that might have been heaven sent! Screencastify is a screen recording tool that is free as long as you have a Google Account. With the free version you can record a video up to five minutes and then share it with a link or upload it to Google Classroom. I thought of a few ways it can come in handy and this time:

1. Solving or teaching math problem strategies
2. Reviewing an article or document
3. Answering questions your students might have 
4. Teaching a Nearpod lessons from home where students log-in with your code 
5. How to complete independent study work 

The list goes on and on. Below I am attaching a Screencastify video of how to download this extension, use it and finally how to post a video. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. I truly love using this resource and see the benefits of it in times like these. Stay safe and healthy!

Learning & Growing,
