Many applications are starting to add the ability to add questions right in the videos and Screencastify is one of those. You can build multiple choice questions and place them at any point in the video. When the video gets to that point, it stops until the student answers the question, then it proceeds with the video.

Editing Tools

Screencastify offers some basic editing tools including annotating, cutting and deleting parts of videos, merging two completely separate videos, and more. The editing tools are not on the level of a professional editing program but that might be what makes them so great as it does not have so many tools that they are overwhelming.

Creating a GIF using Screencastify.mp4

Creating a GIF

A gif is, what appears to be, a short video that continuously plays over and over... no need to press the play, pause, or stop buttons. However, it is actually a sort of flipbook made from pictures... it just looks like a video. The value is it continuously plays over and over without any extra actions required on your part.
