#SCREENCAST FREE CHROME PLUGIN HOW TO#
I needed to show participating students and teachers how to find the URL of a post. Here’s a quick example I made for the Student Blogging Challenge.
While there are many paid options for screencasting software, most teachers rely on free software. Sometimes it’s just audio and sometimes you can see your face in the video as well. Screencasting is where you narrate a video recording of your computer screen. However, the Pro Loom for Education account is still free and has a 45 minute recording limit. ? Note: In October 2020, the free basic plan changed to have a 5 minute recording limit. As of March, 2020 Loom Pro is now totally free for teachers and students. This post explains what screencasting is all about and how to use a tool called Loom. One area of video creation that has huge potential both in and out of the classroom is screencasting. Creating your own videos just gets easier and easier.
We aren’t restricted to simply being video consumers either. There’s something about being able to see and hear content at your own pace, whenever and wherever you like, that is so powerful. The popularity of video continues to soar.
