Comments on Screencastify 

“I have only recently used screencastify in my classroom, but I will surely be using it more next school year. I am in the process of creating a blended learning Economics course where students are outside of the classroom two days a week. During those days, I plan on having them take notes or complete assignments. I will record the lesson and instructions using this tool. In the past, I have used this while students work on a project. Instead of presenting their information in front of the class, I occasionally have them record their presentation on Screencastify and I watch them individually. With this process I am not taking up an entire class period, or sometimes two, to listen to presentations.” Anthony N, Social Studies teacher, USA, 2023

“Browser-based and totally dependable. Can export and share easily. Nice embed function.” Terry Elliott, Instructor/Faculty Development, USA, 2020

“Free Google add-on, easy to learn to use, connectivity with google drive, which makes storing and finding clips easy. Sound and video quality is good. I like this tool so much more than other screen capture tools!” Instructor, USA, 2019
