Screencastify is so easy to use, it’s almost ridiculous. It’s clearly designed to be used quickly and without fuss, which really matters for educators, right? When my classroom was more technology-based, I used it all the time. Even now, as I’m becoming a bit of a Luddite, I’m still glad I can navigate the program easily and find the features I need.

I love Screencastify because it hooks up to my Google Drive, so all of my videos are instantly downloaded into my Drive. That's probably my favorite part. I also love that you can transform videos into just audio files. As a teacher, I use it a lot for explaining and modeling, which is wonderful for students who aren't in the classroom, especially those on independent study. It allows me to record and personalize videos or model multistep processes, which is very helpful. Sometimes I use it to read a text to students, stopping and modeling annotations, and it's great to have an audio version of the text for students to listen to if that's how they learn best.

It is user friendly. When I have to use Screencastify, it is fairly intuitive to use. . .
