Screencastify

We hope you enjoy this video tutorial created by one of the students in Mr. Steenstra's 6th grade technology class! This tutorial explains how to use Screencastify (www.screencastify.com).

This video is particularly interesting because it is a screencast of a screencast. WeVideo, another tool that is capable of creating screencasts, was used to capture a screencast of Screencastify in action. You might notice a few glitches in the video because the Chromebook was slightly overloaded by these concurrent tasks! But it's still a pleasure to watch. Enjoy!
