What is screencasting? <\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s recording the computer screen. If you\u2019ve ever watched any of the quick tip videos these are all made through screencasting tools. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are several great tools available! <\/span><\/p>\n

Screencastify<\/a> is one of the more simple screencasting tools that Kasey has shared<\/a>. For a more robust video editing tool, ScreenFlow is the tool Kasey uses for her own YouTube channel videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Screencast for Chromebooks (New App from Google)<\/h2>\n

The new Chrome OS application by Google is called Screencast (Available for all Chromebooks running ChromeOS v. 103+ and scheduled for release in late June 2022). <\/span><\/p>\n

The layout is very simple and clean. The features are also simple; no major bells and whistles to use. <\/span><\/p>\n

This app allows you to record the computer screen and utilize the camera to record your face in a small square at the bottom of the screen. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible to record the full screen, part of the screen, or a specific window. You can also annotate with a pen tool while recording! <\/span><\/p>\n

The audio and camera can be customized in case it\u2019s necessary to use an external microphone or webcam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each recording also downloads automatically to your Google Drive. <\/span><\/p>\n

The simplicity of this app allows teachers and students to quickly learn the tool\u2019s features and use it immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Screencast App<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the drawbacks that Kasey found while using this tool was how long the processing took to download the video. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kasey also discovered that with each new recording the settings default back to the original. For example, if recording just the screen rather than having the camera turned on that setting will default to the camera being on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside the Screencast app choose Projector Recordings to begin a new recording session. <\/span>Like most recording tools you\u2019ll get a three-second countdown and an indicator will appear in the bottom right corner. There is also a pen tool to annotate the recording. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, this is a brand new tool and it\u2019s likely that Google will continue to provide updates and improvements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

20 Ways to Use Screencasting in the Classroom<\/h1>\n

1. Record a Lesson<\/span><\/h2>\n

Students can always benefit from asynchronous learning; it\u2019s not just a remote teaching strategy. When students have a video recording of a lesson they can pause, rewind, and rewatch for clarification as often as necessary. Recording a lesson essentially clones you to free yourself up for other instructional needs. It\u2019s also reusable!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Reflection<\/span><\/h2>\n

Asking students to reflect on their learning is a great way to gain insight into how well students understood the material. As students reflect on their work they can also share improvements and self-evaluation for future assignments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Voiceover Presentation<\/span><\/h2>\n

While it\u2019s possible to add audio to a presentation, that audio will only record within each slide. Using the Screencasting tool will allow the presenter to speak through the entire slide presentation. Allowing students to present through recording can help free up classroom time rather than having each student share.\u00a0<\/span>
