Video Comments with Screencastify

Teachers may not be able to require their students to attend a live feedback session or they may want to give students a choice between synchronous and asynchronous feedback. In that case, they can record a short screencast using Screencastify to give students feedback on their work. The free version of Screencastify allows users to record up to five-minute videos, which should be plenty for an asynchronous feedback session.

Teachers can pull up the students’ work on their computer screens, click the Screencastify Chrome Extension, select desktop recording, and record their feedback. As they provide feedback, they can highlight specific elements of the student’s work, so the feedback is easier to follow.

When the recording is finished, it will save automatically in Google Drive. Teachers can share the link to the recording directly with the student.
