Google Screencast for ChromeOS (Product Update)
Teachers can record, trim, transcribe and share lessons or demos for rewindable learning. Students can create their own screencasts to share their ideas and what they’ve learned. Recordings are stored on Google Drive, and can be accessed via link to the Screencast app – at school or from home.
To use the new Screencast tool you will need to be using a Chromebook with version 103 of the operating system or higher. Language needs to be English (US). Open the Screencast tool from the ChromeOS launcher.

Screencast your DLO
Start by using Screencast to add sound and motion to an existing Digital Learning Object. From Google Drive these can be embedded in blogs and shared.
For example:
DLO has been created using a Google Slide. Present slidedeck in full screen, navigate to each slide and record narration.
The above can also applied if you are wanting to add a narration to a simple animation
Create a set of original images in response to a piece of writing. Record in present mode while narrating.
Scaffold script by:
Co-constructing success criteria to identify vocabulary and significant word groups they can use to support their writing.
Scaffolding prompts for self assessment

Build Reading Mileage
Room 6 @ Saint Patrick’s School
Learners in Room 6 share their first attempts using the Screencast App on their Chromebooks. To help focus on using the App confidently they recorded themselves reading a familiar texts written earlier.
More opportunities to build their reading mileage too.
Plan and Create a Screencast
Screencasts are best when they are short and include impact e.g. are helpful and breakdown how to do something, a visual representation of learning and ideas, include original content created by the learner e.g.
Record a demonstration on your chromebook with narration.
Learners collaborate to create their screencast i.e. a conversation, interview
