Hi everyone! Today we are talking about screencasts. For this assignment, I chose to use Screencastify. My district has a subscription with Screencastify, and it is what we have used since the Covid pandemic, and the shift to virtual learning started. When the 2020-2021 school year began, I was a virtual teacher for the first semester. My class consisted of 22 kindergarteners who were full-time at-home learners, so I used Screencastify A LOT to teach parents how to navigate our school website to access important information for at-home learners. I also used it to teach parents and students how to access materials in Google Classroom and how to use the tools in Seesaw, which we used as our main learning platform for grades K-2. I love Screencastify because you can show students (and parents) exactly how to do something without just trying to explain it. It is so helpful, saves time, and clears up any confusion that might occur otherwise. Screencast-O-Matic had a lot of comparable features to Screencastify and it also seems user-friendly. I simply prefer Screencastify because I am familiar with it and have used it for over a year now.
Below is a Screencastify video I made about how to change a call number for a MARC record in destiny.
Hi Meghan! I really enjoyed reading your post and watching your video on changing a call number. I also made a video on Screencastify and I appreciate how easy it is to use. It is very user friendly and it allows teachers and educators to share information easily. Thank you for sharing - Kristen Flynt
