Here is a video of my first time using ScreenCastify. I made this video during our EdTech class time, so I chose to turn off my microphone so there wouldn’t be any background noise in the video. In a quieter setting when using audio would be beneficial, it is evident that ScreenCastify could be used to create awesome multimodal videos for the classroom!
In this video, I just filmed my screen as I navigated the BC math curriculum page. I wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to use something like ScreenCastify. I can tell that it is a valuable resource, and could be used really well in an online learning environment. Evidently, it is a convenient tool as it allows the user to focus on their work on their computer as the filming takes place simultaneously in the background, without the user relying on a secondary technology device, such as a cell-phone, to capture the work they are doing. I think it could be a great way to offer short videos for things like lessons on computer-science, graphing, or for showing students ways to navigate the web for reputable resources for research projects for example. The opportunities are endless! Additionally, it is easy to use: I love finding resources that are user-friendly. As a future teacher, I think that discovering well-designed technological programs will be an asset for lesson planning!
Overall, I’m happy I learned about this program and I’m pleased that I was able to see the value in its application!
