My district has the student Drives locked so that anyone outside our district CANNOT see them. TechSmith is the maker.ĭepending on your district, you can keep them in the Drive – remember to change the shared setting to ‘anyone can view’ – or upload them to YouTube.
NOTE: The video will be saved in a folder named TechSmith in the Drive. Once it is completely synced, the blue ‘Syncing Capture’ will change to green and you can THEN name your video.
Depending on the length of your video, it may take a while to upload to your Google Drive. This will then open a new tab in your browser. Now voiceover away! Once you are done, select the ‘Stop Sharing’ option at the bottom of the screen. As a side note, I use 2 Extensions with YouTube: DF YouTube and Adblock for YouTube. In YouTube, the last choice on the bottom right is full screen. Once ‘Entire Screen’ has been selected, you will see a notification at the bottom of the screen, notifying you that the screen is being shared (aka you are now screencasting). With a little editing, they can chop off the first portion. This way, you (or the students) can switch to full-screen mode. This will bring out a pop-out menu in which you will select ‘Entire Screen’. For voiceovers, you will want to select ‘Screen’ under ‘Video’. You have the option of saving an image or a video. Please note that the first time you open the Extension, it will ask you to allow Snagit to access your mic. Once you (or your students) choose Snagit, they will see a black sidebar appear on the right side of the screen. If you are using Chromebooks you will need to go with a Chrome Extension – Screencastify or Snagit.Īfter adding Snagit to your (or your students’) Chrome browser, it will appear in the toolbar next to the URL as shown below. There are a multitude of programs that you can use: Screencastify (Chrome Extension), Screencast-O-Matic (download), Quicktime Apple or Windows (download), or my personal favorite, Snagit (Chrome Extension). After sharing the awesomeness that is Literacy Shed, the most often question I get is, “How did you do the voiceover?” ( See Presentation)
