Screencastify allows you to create simple screencasts using your device. This is a great tool if you are interested in showing students steps on your own device and even allows you to open a Google Slide presentation on your device, turn on Screencastify, and add your own voice narration talking through the slides. Perhaps you want to have a digital version of a children's book on your screen and record yourself reading aloud to your students. Screencastify is a simple to use tool that could help you do just that!
What's more, during our school building closure, we have upgraded to the premium version of Screencastify so Fife School District teachers have access to all features available in Screencastify.
