Textbooks to Chromebooks 7-Screencastify

One of the best tools that help students create content and then share with others is Screencastify. Screencastify allows students to create their own tutorials during the school year.  Screencastify is a video capture program for Chrome.  It can be installed from the Chrome Web Store.   By pressing record students are able to capture their tab, webcam, or desktop.   Using Tab option students will be able to record the tab they currently have opened.  It does not switch to other tabs.  If students use the Webcam choice it will record students face as they talk.  If they choose desktop the students will be able to record and open various tabs as they talk.  Screencastify is free for up to 10 minutes per video with an embedded Screencastify logo.  However, you may want to consider upgraded licenses for educational institutions.
                                                                                                                                 






Here is a student example about sales tax, discount, and percent of a number.  The students used Google Draw to create the restaurant bills.
