For this blog post we were asked to try a new application that we have not used before. When completing this task I originally tried Canva, but I was not very happy with the result, so I made the decision to switch applications and I used ScreenCastify.
This application would be useful in a classroom to record any instructions or examples of information learned during a lesson. If the lesson involves computers or smart board a teacher has the ability to record using the ScreenCastify app. as examples for students who were not present during the lesson. These videos could be posted on the portal program (Google Classroom, EDSBY, etc.) for the students to use as a reference. If you as the teacher have the time and ability, ScreenCastify could also be used to record information prior to the lesson with the purpose to be used as examples during the in class time.
For this post I used ScreenCastify to record the other application I’ve used during my learning project, SketchUp. I started my video with the SketchUp home page, afterwards I display both version of my kitchen, current and remodelled. I used the text feature on the app. to give brief description of what you are viewing in this video. I found this app quite easy to navigate through and straight forward to have a completed product.
