New EdTech Classroom is excited to announce our partnership with Screencastify, an all-in-one screen recording tool optimized for the 21st century classroom!
Here at New EdTech Classroom we believe flipping instruction with video tutorials helps create a more flexible and inclusive classroom. Flipped instruction allows students to work at their own pace while also freeing up educators’ time to provide students with the individualized instruction they deserve.
Screencastify is a leader in providing educators with the tools they need to create effective video lessons for students. Through years of listening to educator feedback, they’ve optimized their screen recorder with a variety of annotation tools and a robust (yet simple) video editor to make it easier than ever to create visually appealing, engaging tutorials for students.
What’s more, until recently, creating interactive screencasts with embedded questions that students answer while watching the videos used to require a multi-step, multi-app process. Screencastify’s new interactive questions tool eliminates that hassle, and now teachers can embed multiple-choice questions directly into a tutorial. Students get realtime feedback on their responses, simultaneously saving teachers time while helping increase comprehension and self-efficacy. A win-win-win.
Plus, Screencastify allows teachers to create video assignments even if students don’t have the Screencastify extension installed on their device. Student screencasting is one of the most effective ways to promote metacognition in a digital environment, and we’re thrilled that Screencastify has reduced the barrier to utilizing this powerful instructional strategy.
Together, New EdTech Classroom and Screencastify will work to continue supporting innovative teaching today in order to reimagine the classroom of tomorrow.
