Screencasting is a method of recording your screen to demonstrate or instruct. Usually, you will at least include audio with your recording to narrate the video as you record. Other times, you might also include a small video of yourself. The EdTech team knows there are many tools out there for screencasting and you may have already picked a favorite. That's great! If you are looking for a tool, though, we have two recommendations--one paid and one free.
Use the video to get started with Loom using your Google account. You will be able to log in using Google from now on.
If you do not see the Pro account under your plan, you will need to sign out and create an account using your @beaufort.k12.sc.us email. You can check the plan again. If it still does not say Pro, use this website to verify your email and get switched over to Pro.
Use the video to assist you with getting started with Loom.

Some of Screencast-o-matic features that are helpful for educators that our free recommendation does not have are blurring, capturing just an area of the screen, adding arrows and shapes and green screen filter. There are many more features listed in the pricing area below.
