This is my storytelling self-portrait shot.
In our last post, we showed you how to create an account and record a quick video. This post aims to build on that with a few ideas.
If you missed the last post check out our video below.
Screencastify has a number of videos on its YouTube channel to check out.
A few things to consider before creating your first video.
1. Screencastify is limited to five minutes per video. Use this to your advantage, chunk the material into smaller parts.
2. Have your presentation, OneNote notebook or Chrome tabs ready to go before you start recording.
3. I always recommend having a script, even a few bullet points, before you click the record button. Having a plan will dramatically help you
4. Control the background noise if possible.
5. Have a consistent place you are going to share your recordings. It could be Canvas, Google Classroom or email. All of these are perfect as long as the kids know where to go to access your videos.
6. The kids miss you. Have fun and let your personality shine in your recordings.
Here is an example I did at home with my own kids. They were super thrilled! (joking... they are 14 and 16. Not super pumped with my ideas.)
My idea was to get them to write a little each day. If we are stuck at home for an extended period of time I wanted what they wrote to have some creativity and allow their own personalities to shine.
