4 Good Screen Recording Tools for Teachers

Share this post:         
One way to boost your distance teaching during (and post) this pandemic is through  creating and sharing screencasts and instruction videos with your students. In today's post we are sharing with you some of our favourite Chrome applications that you can use to record your screen and create instructional video materials to share with your students or embed in your virtual class.

Using these extension will enable you to create video tutorials, step-by step guides, video explainers, and many more. Depending on which of them you use, these applications differ on the kind of features they provide and also on how much you can do with their free versions. However, for better screencasts and educational how-to videos we recommend that you choose a service that allows you to: include your webcam in the recording, integrate voice-overs or narrate using your voice,  access annotation tools (eg. add text, circles, draw, doodle, etc). Here are our recommendations:


1- Screencastify

If there is one tool that we recommend the most it is this one. Screencastify is absolutely an excellent screen video recorder that allows you to record screencasts from your desktop, browser tab or webcam capture. It also lets you include your audio recording to go along the recording. Other supported features include the ability to edit and annotate your videos (crop, trim, merge, add text, draw on your tab with a pen, etc). Once your screencast is ready you can share it to Google Drive, publish it to Youtube, share it to Google Classroom, export it as MP4 or animated GIF or MP3.
