This week, we learned to do screencasting using Screencastify, a program that allows you to record your shared screen as well as your narration for your website tour. I chose to use Screencastify to create a virtual tour of three websites that I am using in my contra dance calling journey. Here is the video I created.

Screencastify is a fun tool, but I don’t really think that I would use it with my students. The place I could really imagine using this tool is with parents. Sometimes parents need a little help navigating websites or processes, such as applying for a background check or registering for the parent-teacher meetings. I think that creating a simple Screencastify video would be a great way to make those processes easier.
