Of all the assignments in this course, I think the screencasting project was the most helpful. I learned the technical aspects of how to screencast and how to use Screencastify, but I also learned about some of the many ways I could use them in my classroom.
I had used Screencastify once before, so I didn’t have much experience with it. Even after completing this assignment, I am not completely comfortable with it. It was a challenge to say exactly what I wanted to say exactly when and how I wanted to say it in one “take”; it took me several tries to get my short video just how I wanted it. If I were to use this consistently in my classroom, I think my students would just have to deal with my slight hesitations or mistakes! The best part of this assignment was learning from my peers. Many of them seem to have been using screencasts in a variety of ways, and it was great to hear how they have used that technology in class. I especially love the idea of creating screencasts to use while a guest teacher is in the classroom. This assignment really encouraged and inspired me to learn from those around me.
