Description: Learn the effective uses of Screencastify for both teachers and students. Teachers can record themselves to create a flipped classroom, explain difficult concepts, recap the day's main objectives, demonstrate an idea, or give students audio or video feedback on their work. They can communicate with parents as well, explaining procedures or bringing a personal touch to the traditional classroom newsletter. Students can use Screencastify to demonstrate what they've learned or how they solved a problem, give presentations, catch up their absent peers, make and read ebooks, or practice reading aloud in a foreign-language class.
Administrators can use it too: facilitating virtual faculty meetings, sharing professional development, or providing training for new employees. Please join this session from your individual classroom.
