Screencastify is an online educational tool that can help teachers be interactive with their students while they learn from home. Eric Curts’s blog, “Control Alt Achieve: transforming education with technology”, has a post called, “Screencastify Makes Video Quizzes Easier with Interactive Questions Feature”, that explains the Screencastify application, how to set it up, its benefits, and how to use it for classroom purposes.

Screencastify is similar to the application Edpuzzle in the way that students have the ability to answer questions while watching whatever program that educator chooses.

This video is from the writer of the article and explores the tools within Screencasify.

This education tech tool offers:

• Educators to provide their students with video recordings of lectures through web cam or screen-casting abilities.
• Interactive question features where teachers can ask multiple choice questions to ensure their students are engaged in the topic
• Viewer analytics that show how many time a student has watched the video provided
• Drawing tools to annotate, highlight, draw, or make shapes on the video. This tool is equivalent to having an online whiteboard!
