Technology Tip!
Technology is so GREAT! Have you heard of screencasts before? You can record what is going on your screen, and make a video. It is great for students who are absent or how to show students how to do something. It has made my life so much easier! I have used it to make a video on how students upload documents and pictures to their Google Drive, how to do research and even recorded some lectures. How have you used Screencasts? Feel free to comment below! I have used these two screencast applications:
Screencast-O-matic
- free version
-can log-in with Google
-cannot edit in free version
- 15-minute time limit
-can be upload to Youtube
-no watermark
Screencastify Chrome Add-On
-free version
-can use on Chromebooks
- watermark on
-10-minute time limit
-50 video limit a month
-no editing in free version
-can upload to Youtube
For me, I prefer to use Screencast-O-Matic. It is really easy to use, and I prefer not to have a watermark on the video. With my Mac, it is downloaded to my launch pad, so I don't even have to open a browser to do a screencast. I posted some example screencasts below.

I found this blog who goes over more types of Screencasting software and is well worth a look!
