Videos and Screencast
What is a Screencast?
a screencast is a video recording you create of your computer screen. It often contains a voicover (allow access to your microphone) where you explain what the viewer is seeing on the screen as you go and you can select webcam access.
Some screen recorders allow you to film only the camera if you prefer to make a traditonal videl
How To Screencast?
I recommend Screencastify Chrome Extension because it is plug and play. The account has a time and video limit so if you've already made your free limit of Screencasts, no problem: Download any you wish to save to your chromebook then delete them from Screencastify to make room.

Here's an example of an ELA performance task created by a middle schooler in CMS
He used Screencastify to record a voiceover of his ebook. He chose not to use the optional thumbnail video option.
Other Video and Screen Recording Options
film directly from your native chromebook camera,
- best if you need to make a LONG video.
film within your favorite social media or video app
-best if they want lots of bells and whistles or already enjoy creating content with that tool
BUT
but they must take many more steps to then save it to their camera roll. upload it to their cms google drive and publish and share the link so that it is visible within CMS
Flip
-Best if your teacher makes a Flip for everyone to post and record on for sharing.
Using another extension or website allowed in CMS.
