Chromebook users! Have you used Screencast?
What is Screencast?
It’s a screen recording app built into Chromebooks. It enables educators to record, trim, transcribe and share lessons or demos.
Simply record yourself teaching a lesson, recordings are then automatically stored in Google Drive, and then you can access them via a link to the Screencast app. You can even use the app to virtually teach in real time!
What can I do with Screencast?
- Record yourself teaching a lesson
- Build a custom library of teaching videos (so students can access lessons if they miss a class)
- Demonstrate key ideas to really get your message across
- Help your students create their own screencasts so they can share ideas
- Use ‘moderator mode’ to monitor screen casting going to a central display
How do I use it?
- Open your Chromebook, click the app launcher and search for “Screencast”
- Click the app to view or create a recording
- If you can’t find Screencast, update your Chromebook operating system to v.103 or higher and it will appear
- Click here if you need help updating your Chromebook operating system
