 Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for coming back. I actually really appreciate it. I wasn't sure how how many would return I'm hoping that you weren't crying too much last night and that you were actually pretty excited and You were able to explore More with your spin cast So here's part two. We'll do a quick introduction. I'm going to do a very brief review very very brief Um, just to if anybody was here not here yesterday just kind of you know, maybe they can catch up a little bit I'm going to go through the toolbar with you. Um, I'm probably assuming that a lot of you kind of used it a little bit last night or yesterday when you did your homework so You you'll probably feel familiar with it. Hopefully I can give you some tips And some new information We're going to talk about sharing the different ways that you can share and then if we have time I I would like to do some show and tell I received some screencasts from some of you and um, I Literally tears were coming into my eyes. They were so good. I was so excited and happy To see your products. And so I just wanted to share a few with you and then um, you know, always It doesn't have to be at the end, but um always q&a If you have questions throughout the whole presentation, then please Put them in the q&a if you have a comment put them in the chat. All right, let's go ahead and get started Um, so this is me. Um, same from yesterday Same garner grove. Woo. Garner grove peeps Um, I've been with otam for about three years and this is the first time I'm doing the screencast to by session So, um timing might be a little bit off or you know, if you feel like there's not enough information or too much information Please please please write those things in the in the evaluations Um, because that will help me to to pump up or you know bring down For the future. Okay All right, so one minute What were some of the challenges that you faced while making your screencast? So if you can put that in the chat not the q&a in the chat, um, you know, just brief challenges that you faced Running out of time That five minutes does go by fast Oh, somebody was asking somebody commented about not being able to put a comment on the thing Um, I think with the premium if you pay for the $29 a year, you're actually able to um, put text on your videos That's one of the features. Um So that might help you, um, you know a little bit more for those bells and whistles $29 a year not too bad for for you know being able to I didn't put it in the slides and I wish and now I kind of wish I did but um Some of the other bells and whistles where you can merge two screencasts together you can um Trim like in the free version you can only trim the front end and the back end but with the premium You can um trim in the middle So if you do make a mistake like in the middle instead of starting all over again You just keep continuing the recording and then when you get to the part that you don't like in the editing You just trim that off. So that's kind of a bonus Yeah, somebody uh, wendy is asking saying that um, she wishes you could see the time There is a place I think you have to hover over like your screen or something and I think a time does come up like a timer Near the toolbar. Um, I remember seeing it a few times, but I I don't really pay attention to it. So I'm not sure Okay, so um Oh, Donna, I kept a stop watch nearby That was really smart. See she's way smarter than I am. She thinks of things like that I just don't I end up Um, I think if if anybody has gotten to the five-minute mark You'll see it all of a sudden is that you have, you know, five seconds left and then you're not, you know You're not even close to being done and then you're all like, oh man, you know But I appreciate the comments. Um, I will take a look at them Can we edit in oh ed puzzle? I don't know that might be somebody if somebody else um knows more about ed puzzle The question is can we edit in ed puzzle after completion? I I know nothing about ed puzzle So I don't even know how to answer that question Um, so anyways, okay. So great. I I didn't really get a chance to read all that because it was going so fast But I'm going to move on and again if you have questions or something put them in the queue and a All right. So for those of you who were not here yesterday, um, this is this is your opportunity to take a picture of this screen right here Um, because this will tell you step by step how to install screencastify And then that way when after this or if you want to work Simultaneously, um, you can go ahead Install the extension um onto your computer. It is not Moldle mobile device friendly though. So you you must use a desktop or a laptop Okay um So take a picture of this if you want. Oh yesterday people were asking about how do you take a photo of your screen and um, so there's a couple choices you can actually take your phone and Take a photo. Um, if you're on your phone, you can take a screenshot if you know how to do that um, or if you're on your laptop um If you're on windows, you can use the snippet tool which is part of uh, microsoft It's it's under accessories If you're on a chromebook, it's control shift and the key above the number six So those are all different ways that you can make screenshots and stuff and people were asking yesterday about that too They were asking about how do I make all these screenshots? Like this one for example Um, all right. Uh, so i'm going to take this way three two one All right, so real quick before I get started. Um, are there any questions or things I can answer right now? Yeah, lisa. This is anthony. Um, hi anthony Hi everyone, you know, there were a few people who were still having you know, they're still putting their Some of the questions they had or problems they had with setup So I'm wondering if um, and maybe melinda could just jump in for a second because this is a chrome extension And I think that some of the maybe somebody can just address that real quick like why some people Um, we're still having trouble, you know, trying to trying to add the extension Maybe that was part of it. Maybe some people were signed into a district gmail account Rather than a personal gmail account So I'm wondering if maybe we could just address that for maybe a second or two Yeah, melinda if you have any insights on why you would think somebody might have difficulties um Okay, if you're using a district account, um, they can preclude you from Adding extensions on your chrome. So if you sign into your account, um Let's say that elisa had a gg usd net and that would be a g sweets account Uh, she would she might not be able to add extensions when she signed in with that account So what I would recommend is sign out of that account and then sign in with your at gmail.com And you'll be able to do everything that you want to do unless There's unless you're using a district laptop because there are restrictions on the back end as well Yeah, I'm gonna chime in real quick. I mean, I can only speak for garden grove, but I know this for a fact Um, so for my garden grove peeps if you have one of the chrome books that was issued to you Um from garden grove Most likely the chrome book will not allow you to um add the extension or if you did it on another Computer like your personal computer. You won't see them if you use the the garden grove Um, um chrome books chrome books. Thank you. Um So, I mean that might be that might be one of the issues also Right, so even if you are able to get the extension on a different one, you won't be able to see it on the school issued chrome book Um, and then the other you know, it's basically the the club in the pub If uh, if they decide that you can have extensions, they might actually decide which extensions you can have So they will push out. There we go. We've got someone from irland said, uh, they the they already pushed out the screen castify Extension with unlimited recording. That's very cool. Yeah, and it could be that your district doesn't realize that you're not able To install extensions. So you might need to call somebody and ask them There was also something in the q&a lisa. I don't know if you've experienced this or maybe when you first started using screen castify about um google needing permission To access all your computer data and change it It's the big scary message when you start using extensions Yeah, we talked about it yesterday because I had a screenshot of it about a read and change data, um Something something, you know And we talked about and I actually looked it up to see what that meant and so we kind of talked about it yesterday And so people some of them that didn't were having difficulties using the the extension And so they went back and did again and then they said it was fine Right. So and basically what what the extensions are asking for Is read write Access to your google drive I have never had any problems with any extension doing anything to anywhere on my google drive ever But if they're not allowed to Save the video to your drive, then there's no way to put it If they're using some space on your drive in order for you to use the extension so you can say no That's fine, but you're going to find that you're not able to use it as well so I I don't know anthony's do you think that's enough to answer the questions? Yeah, I think that sounds pretty good. I think that I'm hoping that these are the issues that folks ran into There were a few people who were still You know, I noticed in the comments in q&a that they were saying You know, I still couldn't get it installed or I was running into trouble You know getting it onto my computer So I'm hoping that we address some of those issues and we do realize too with the coal pub and club Thing that's a whole another component that may Um be a barrier for some people Right. So I mean I was I'm on I'm on a laptop a district issued laptop and I was able to um Install the extension on my garden grove account as well as a gmail so Hands on on your district and where they decide to put in the the blocks and stuff. So yeah, I hope that was I'm not hoping that was your problem But I hope that that you understand that that could be your problem of why you weren't able to do it Um yesterday we talked about working with multiple tabs. Um, I hope that you found that that was useful When you were maybe doing a demonstration or a how-to video and you had to go from tab to tab to tab Just having those tabs in an order. It really helps ease into your screencast Side-by-side yesterday if you weren't here we were talking about side-by-side views like linda explained earlier You know, you could have your zoom on one side and then Your screencast or if you're just installing on the right hand side um Also, if you're on if you're new today and you weren't here yesterday You might want to have your zoom this presentation on your phone And then you're working in screencastify on a laptop or a desktop Um, we talked a little bit yesterday I hope some of you had the time or you were able to kind of go through the tutorials and the introductions of Screencast and maybe that answered some of your questions too or hey, I didn't know I could do that If not go back When you go into your account screencastify.com and you go into your account You'll see a lot of different resources and we'll talk a little bit about that more later on So again, if you're new screencastify.com so everybody if you've installed it you should have it already installed We're going to talk a little bit about The tools that are available as well Um Thank you, Elizabeth. Yesterday we got a comment about this privacy and security and anthony was so sweet And he like researched it and I found it in the resources They have a whole thing about privacy and security and so I just kind of wanted to Check in with you and show this and then there's actually a learn more and there was a whole It was a really long list of things that they go through to make sure that Everything is secure and private. So thank you, Elizabeth for that All right. So again, you know, if you're in a presentation with your students Um, you know, you might want to have these break slides in there. I have found I had never done it before until just recently um And I kind of have found that they're very useful and and a lot of people comment on them in the evaluations Or like I really like those break slides, um, you know, whatever the break is and so, you know Just something to think about especially with your students because this is all new for them Also, if they're using a computer or their phone and if they're on it for a long time Their eyes are going to start getting tired their neck. They're back So just being able to take a deep breath or stretch a little bit would really help them out Um, all right. So the toolbar so Yesterday I gave some misinformation Because that was my own ignorance about the toolbar I was under the impression that it only works with the browser tab Because I thought that my impression was that if you haven't on the desktop It was too much information for it to go back and forth, but I have found that I am wrong so, um Here's what I thought yesterday if you're on the browser tab, then you get your toolbar, but Uh, yesterday I was actually making a screencast for one of the participants I was replying to one of the comments that they made and I was making a demonstration video and I had the desktop Enabled and suddenly my toolbar appeared and I was like, that's amazing So I thought maybe I had some magical powers or you know They decided because I was so awesome that they would just grant me, you know some Premium tool or not. Well, that wasn't the case. I found out later on But it was nice to uh, think that for a few minutes All right. I went on I finally clicked on this little, um Warning this little error thing on the bottom where it says, you know, your tools are unable, you know unavailable And I finally clicked on it and it tells you why and um, and so it's basically saying like if um It's you can't do it on a live Website and then they kind of explain what a live website is I'm not going to go too much into it, but just know that um, there's a couple of things that you can do to To have a toolbar come up and I think if you're going from uh from tabs if you get to a new tab Once it becomes not a new tab if you click on it then the toolbar will appear. So I hope that helps um Again, so here's the simple work around and let's see if it will Play Oh So in your um, when you first open a screencast you click on your little icon You can go into the skinny, um the hamburger on the left and you'll get um options Here we go. I had I do have a video. So just a second There's no sound on this. This is just a GIF You want to make sure that that toolbar is shown And so you're going to go To the more options and then you'll see down here in the middle Enabled the toolbar. So you'll always want to make sure that that's um checked up And I think on default it is but sometimes you may not want and sometimes you may not want to have the toolbar there If it's in the way Or if you don't ever use it don't have it on there because it might be a distraction to your students or to whoever's watching your screencast Okay, so now we're going into the actual toolbar And I I'm hoping that you had a chance to play with it a little bit if not there there um when I do screencast I think because I can't Multitask it too well at the same time So I tend to forget that it's there until it's too late like I'm already talking on the screen and then I go Oh, yeah, you know, and I go down and I scroll to the spotlight and then I come back up Um, but I think the more that I play with this, you know, the more familiar I will be it'll be easier and more effortless So the first tool that's in the toolbar is the spotlight Well at first you'll we might only just see the bottom row, but if you hover over it these three will come up And this is the spotlight and you'll see this is like a little demonstration It pretty much does what it says it spotlights wherever your cursor is The next one is hide cursor So if you are maybe showing a video or you don't want this arrow In the middle of the screen, you know, you can always move it down But if you click on this hide cursor if you just have your your mouse still for A second or so it will disappear and then as soon just like that Like how my cursor just disappeared and then if you move it again, it reappears So that might be a handy tool to have if you don't want to have your cursor shown The next one is the highlight click Okay, so anytime that you're actually clicking so I was clicking here to enlarge An image and when you do it makes a round halo A red halo around it and that draws the attention So students or whoever can look to see exactly where you are because sometimes your mouse like when i'm doing this I'm like, oh see here and here's here that you know, it's too fast So if it has a red halo, then um, then the eye can draw to it quicker pause pretty self-explanatory, but So as you were as I was doing a screencast I was playing around with these and I hit pause And my toolbar changed so once you hit the pause Excuse me, then your tool part changes a little bit you end up having the play which is the opposite of pause So you can play your video again You can stop your video, which is um ending it or you can redo it You can restart it's called restart and you're like, oh, I messed up I'm just going to do it again instead of instead of ending it You can just say restart and it'll start your recording It'll go three two one and then you can read you can begin again. So that's really helpful Um, oh, I'm sorry. Yep. So you can end the video And then you can record from the beginning The mouse pointer, that's just this so whenever you're Using other tools when you want to go back to your mouse, you're going to have to go back to the mouse pointer The toolbar pen. So here's the pen pretty self-explanatory again. You can choose your colors But here's something that you may not know which I found out which is amazing You oops, let's go back you can um Make the pen thicker or thinner by using the arrow keys on your computer on your keyboard So it defaults at a certain font at a certain width and then if you increase it if you use the arrow up It makes it fatter and if you use the arrow down it makes it skinnier So I thought that was pretty cool. So sometimes you don't want it as thick or sometimes you want it thicker And you can change that So same thing with the erase. So here's the eraser Um, again, you can make the erase smaller You can make it medium or you can make it really big So I just wanted to demonstrate like I just used that now if you want if you don't want to go erase erase erase erase You just you're like I want everything gone Alt z or option z it'll wipe out the whole Um annotation not your screen or anything just the annotation whatever you use with your pens So I thought that that was pretty cool too because it doesn't really explain that on the toolbar So I hope those were helpful hints. Um, that really helped me a lot um Here is your embed Camera So this is what we talked a little bit about yesterday about being mindful about when you want to be in the video And when you don't want to be in the video So if you are giving a demonstration and you have a worksheet or you have a website that you're showing Um, sometimes you do want to have your face on there so that you're explaining something and the students can see you And maybe you're making some hand gestures or whatever And then now it's time to focus on the actual worksheet You can toggle onto that camera and it takes you off of your screencast And now you can focus directly on to the subject of your screencast So the worksheet and things so you can use your pens and and all that stuff. So Um, just kind of be mindful about maybe sometimes not always being on the camera and not always not being on the I mean, uh, yeah, not being on the on camera Um, and then the x is to hide at the toolbar. It's not ending your screencast So, um, remember that too. So if you if you're thinking you're done and you're like, oh x That's only hiding your toolbar. You're not finishing your um, screencast Um, any is this a good time to stop and ask for questions or comments? Yes, alisa. So, um Okay, so some people are still having trouble seeing their toolbar So can you remind us again? First of all, how do we enable the toolbar? And then um, then how do we get it to show? And then if you happen to hide your toolbar, how do you get it back? Okay, I I'm so glad somebody asked it, but I'm so sad that somebody asked it because I I meant to look into that because I'm thinking that myself because I don't ever get rid of it But I was thinking if I did how do I do there is a, um, There is a shortcut And and I'm going to show you a link to show what all the shortcuts are But I think you have to I think unless somebody can tell me differently Um, I think you have to use the shortcut to get the tool back The toolbar back. So that that I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't follow through on what I wanted to do with that Um, as far as making sure that the toolbar comes Um, number one, make sure you're not on a new tab Um And let me go back to that one. I'm sorry. I'm scrolling back here. Um, they'll give you a list Okay, so if you're on a blank new tab, right? So if you click new tab and you're on google or, you know, whatever the home page is it will not show up there um Any urls that begin with chrome? um The chrome web store. Okay. So if if if that helps if that helps any of your Issues that might be the reason why your toolbar is not coming up. The other thing is if um, you need to make sure When you're um at the very beginning when you make your screencast you click on the screencast icon And you hit the more options Then you're going to want to um Make sure that that toggle is on there's a little place that it says More options than it says right here Enabling two of ours you want to make sure that's on so double check those are your troubleshooting Those are your troubleshooting tips. So I hope that answers that'll help for everybody Uh, anything else or what else? Um, let me see here Um, somebody suggested control T For short kite. Is that what you said? Oh, I don't know what it does but Oh, oh for the toolbar. Yes. That could that could work control T. Yeah, that sounds about right Oh, thank you. Thank you Okay, so yeah, if you exit out of the toolbar And now you're like, oh, I want the toolbar back. Then yeah control T Okay, oh, thank you. That was awesome. Yes um Oh, and then polisa again. How come um, when somebody's looking at their toolbar, they can't see those top three icons Oh, when you're just looking like if the toolbar appears and you're like, oh, there's the toolbar when you hover over it The top three will show up um So elisa it's uh I want to step back a second here. So can you click on a website and play a video that you then comment on? So maybe the maybe the very there's a video on a website And you just want you like maybe for your students to watch the video But then you also want to comment on the video. So could you make a screencast of that? Yes, so you're gonna have to it's two steps. You'll have to screencast the video So play the video and then screencast it And and then put that in a slider or something and then screencast yourself um You know play the video again and screencast excuse me And um, and then you can make your comments your your annotations As you're watching the video and then that's a screencast of you Talking about that video Just do you think that answered? What they were looking for I believe so. Yeah, so it is possible is what you're saying. Yes. So it's it's um I think I might have done that yesterday with the um screencast video I screencast their actual tutorial and then I had me on the side and So it was a video of a video. It was a screencast of a screencast Okay um, okay another question How do you show something you have saved on your computer that you want to talk over? um, okay, so Um It depends on what it is that's saved on your computer I would either have the whatever it is on my screen and then start screencast if I and then talk about it So just pull it up from your from your downloads um, and then screencast if I and then Talk about it. Um, or if you want to show students how to get to those things on their computer Then we would start from an empty desktop and then screencast if I and then show them where they can find it on their desktop Once um, so we have somebody who wanted to include a youtube video song But the song was very echoey Oh Oh, the the original video was not but when they did the screencast it was I'm not sure if you just said I wanted to include a video song um This happened to me too because I did the same thing because I thought oh, I have my headphones in and I heard it So clearly so I hit screencast if I and then when I went to go watch my screencast if I it was Um silent because the headphones didn't pick up on the thing So I had unplugged my my headphones and then screencast spies So it was using my computer speakers and then when I watched it again It was echoey There it you might not have a go There might not be a wraparound from that Unless you just try to minimize the sound in the room Just try to make you know, like there's no You're not a big spacious room or things and then just try to surround the sound in your computer as much as possible That might help with the the clarity Um, we'll take a couple more here So we have somebody who who was using their webcam Okay, but they wanted to move the webcam around As they were making the recording. So maybe for example, like, you know Maybe um as the as the recording was going Maybe it was blocking something that they wanted the students to be able to see so they wanted to move the webcam around But it didn't seem to go as well as this person thought it might go Um, I've had a little bit of issues because when you watch the video from screencast to buy he does it fairly effortlessly And um, so this is she's talking about when you're um embedding Not not just webcam because webcam is just a selfie video. But when you embed Your webcam into your um, let's say your this picture, for example As I was recording Oh, okay, so two things. Okay. So mine is a little different though because I did a screencast And I I inserted it in here. I didn't do it at the same time. So that's actually sorry. That's not going to be So if if I had this picture and I did a screencast right now Oh, let's see if I can do it. Let me just exit out of this. Um If I hit screencast Oh No, I'm sorry I keep forgetting I want a computer that doesn't have a webcam But if I had if I was in in enabling my webcam here, um Supposedly when it comes up your the video I think defaults right here in this lower corner And then you're you should be able to move it and adjust the size so that it's not hiding things, you know beneath it um But But I I did do it yesterday a little bit and it what there was a little trouble when I was moving it And it could have been maybe my internet connection too. That could be it. Alyssa. I think that um, so mario I think is giving us the answer to this question Oh, great suggests that you have to click and grab from the middle Of the webcam. So don't grab a corner. Oh grab the middle of the webcam and that might make it smoother Oh, great. That's good. Thank you mario. Um, yeah to move it around and then once you have it in place Then maybe use the corners or the side to um resize Um, because you can actually make a skinier, you know fatter longer shorter Um, but yeah, great. That that's good advice. I might have been Yeah, I I might have been grabbing it more here and it may not have been as effort. Uh, it might have been more effort Um, great. Thank you. Um now we have another question somebody You know, everybody's using zoom these days So somebody thought well, why don't I make a screen castify of zoom? Right, so I can show my students how to use zoom How to use the controls Um, but it didn't seem to work very well and is is this what you just talked about in your slides, elisa Is this a is this a possible reason for why? Um, when you're trying to capture something live like that that it's not really working that it doesn't really work that well um Should it because we're in I'm in zoom right now And I'm able to make a screen cast and it's being recorded. Um It there might have be just too many elements going on or um Yeah, it okay. So if you're trying to screen cast A zoom meeting or you're just trying to do like an informational like how to teach your students how to get to zoom I think it's more when you're within when you're actually Using zoom and so for example like to show students how to Put something into the chat how to open up the q and a if you're using it um Maybe some of the participant controls So I think it's more of that kind of Wanting to capture that kind of information um Yeah, so I would just be in a zoom, you know open up your zoom room And um as if you were in a meeting or you know, if you're with your students Then just hit the screen cast just make sure you're not in full screen You have to be off screen because you have to be able to see your screen cast icon And then once you hit that then you can go back to full screen and then use the screen cast To go around your zoom room and show them all the different tools Um, is there a way you can add a background behind your profile picture like zoom? So I guess maybe I don't think I don't I haven't I haven't looked into that but um, you might want to just stand in front of a Picture or poster Yeah, I don't think there's a virtual background But but again, I can't say that for sure because I never even looked into that And then somebody asked how can I make a black screen? Do you have any thoughts about that black screen a black screen? Oh, so like if you want to just do um audio only maybe um Yeah, then I would just have maybe open up a Like a google slide and just make a black slide and then do your screen cast with the narration Yeah, that's why it's totally black and then you can Just have your narration and then you could just always do Export to audio only so then you don't even see the the black if you don't want or if you want them to see something When I did my listening test, I was thinking about that also But I didn't want just a blank color and so I actually put a little picture So they're looking at something but they're listening it was a very neutral picture and um, but then they they heard my voice So I for me that worked. I liked having them look at something versus nothingness But yeah for black screen. That's what I would suggest Um, let's see. Can we take just a couple more and then we'll then you continue on um Uh, can you review how to switch the sound off and on in your embedded video? Um Switch the sound like as you're recording Well, you like mute unmute. Well, you did show us a recording where there was no sound, right? Oh, because there was just no sound Okay, yeah So as you're making your recording could you so could you make a recording where you're talking some of the time? Then not talking then talking then continue talking. That's a good question. Let's see here. Oh, so here's your microphone. Um So if if I wanted to Excuse me, especially if you're we're talking about this too if you're going to make a gif You probably want to turn your microphone off because you don't want to have any sounds because it's just usually movement um And so I would just toggle this off and there's no microphone now And then I would make a screen cast but um, as far as the microphone, let me see No, these are just your your your Different microphones that you have available. Um as far as within a screen cast I'm not sure if there's I don't remember seeing anything where you can toggle on off between Um, I might you know sound and no sound. It's something that you're gonna have to choose right then and there from the beginning So we're down to sharing now And some of you um did an awesome job. I I uh, I received some some of your screencasts in my gmail yesterday. Um, And uh, they turned out great. Um, so as you notice as soon as you hit stop recording There's nothing to do. It's already saved into your drive Um, and so that's one of the things that's really really nice. So you don't even have to think about it. It's already there um So they do save as a web dot m and I am not a decade Like this was not in my field. And so I had a google this too And so what it says is it's an open source file that can be viewed straight from a browser So I that's that's what it means. So you'll you'll see your the name of your Screencast and then it's like web dot m. So that's what it's a set of doc or or whatever it is um, so it can be used The yes one of the questions yesterday was can you watch screencasts from your phone? The answer is yes because I did it yesterday. I got I had I opened up my email from my phone Somebody sent me a screencast. I turned it on and I can watch it from my phone. So and I have an android So that that worked for me. Um, if anybody else was having some problems, I don't know if I can answer them or not Um copy and paste the link. That's this one. That's the easiest way if if you do nothing else You finish your screencast You copy the link and you email it to somebody that I mean that's as good as that um, just be mindful the longer the videos the the longer it'll take to kind of Boost, you know into your so sometimes you'll have it and then it'll say video not available yet or processing Please wait or try again. So just kind of be patient if there's somewhat longer The next one is to youtube Two things with youtube you need to have an account, but not only do you need to have an account you need to have a channel Okay, so if you have gmail or um a g-suite you automatically have a youtube account But you'll need to develop or create a youtube channel. And that's a whole another rabbit hole. Um, I do have um, I mean Jennifer's from otens done a wonderful wonderful tons of tutorials on youtube in itself. Um, oten website has resources So please if you think that you might want to have a youtube channel and this is a good venue for Placing your videos so that your students have access to them then and then go into that and look into that See how easy it is If you want to publish youtube, you're going to go ahead and click on that And then it'll ask you it defaults to private which means that only you can see Um, so if if there's going to be some editing to be done and you don't want anybody to see it yet That's probably what you are going to want to keep if you if there are no editing You know if you don't want to edit anything and it's ready to go just as it is You're going to need to change it to public. Otherwise nobody else is going to be able to see it unless they have the link So change that to public and then you're going to upload And it says as easy as that. I mean I did it and like four seconds later I went into my youtube channel and there it was so that was kind of nice Um, I know I kind of went through that real fast if you have more questions about youtube It will try to do it later on but if it's more about youtube itself Then we're going to have to refer it to like maybe another youtube session Um google classroom if you have a classroom or if you just created one Um, you can upload to a classroom seamlessly You click on the share classroom. This is what comes up It'll ask you to choose what class if you have multiple I have two classes. So I chose this one It'll choose ask you to choose an action. So do you want an assignment a question announcement create material? I chose uh assignment uh hit go The first time it comes up you'll get this little prompt. So just say got it And then here's your assignment and then you um, this is the this is the screencast right here I didn't name it because I was just playing around but if you had named it, you know Vocabulary practice it would say vocabulary practice right here And then you go through your assignment as if you're As if any other assignments and again if you're having trouble with this if it's more of a classroom issue You're going to we'll probably address it in a classroom session But if it's actually about the screencast into the classroom, then we'll talk about it later embedding the code I wrote on here because I I don't know what this means But I think people who have a website maybe this is what you would use I don't use this, but this is what it looks like. I clicked on it and this is what I got And um, so I assume that you're going to copy this and put it wherever you need to put it But I I don't speak that lingo. So I don't really know too much about it. Sorry Uh gmail sending it because this is a google product. Um, it automatically goes seamlessly into a gmail I hit send in email now what happens is it generates an email for you a new email From the account that your screencast if I was opened So my screencast if I account is linked with my alisa dot takayuchi at gmail.com So when I hit send email, this is what it comes up Okay, and if I want to send it from this email, that's great But when I'm using it with my students, I don't use this email address I have a totally different gmail account with my students. So I don't use this particular tool I'm sorry With um, I don't use this particular tool with my students, but with um Some of you that I I contacted last night. Um, this is exactly what I did um So with my students because I have a different account. I created a I created an email already, this is my my Email to my students and then I'm going to hit the um drive button at the very bottom There's a whole bunch of tools at the bottom of your email I hit the drive and then my learning chocolate comes right up And I inserted it and it and it comes into the the email So that was pretty easy. Um, I think I might have Yeah, so here's that email I took a screenshot So here are all my students and then excuse me. Oh my gosh, my voice is a drive Um, here's that email and then I would Insert here. I would insert a file using drive I would probably go to recent because it's one of things that I've done recently Now again, if it's a longer video and you try to do this right away, it won't work because it's still processing So just give it a few minutes or keep hitting refresh or do you know doing something like that? I'm sorry, it's just not gonna work and um, it will um You'll see it and then you just hit select and then it pops right up So it really is that easy when you use the the gmail More so if you're using the same account as your screencast supply excuse me the qr code It's the very last one This generates a qr code and this is what the um, the prompt will come up when you when you tap when you tap that So you can either copy this code and then paste it onto a document or worksheet or you can download it and it'll save to your computer I don't know if a lot of people still use qr codes. I know it was kind of big at some at one point Um, I'm not sure if a lot of people still use them. Maybe I like on your websites and stuff Tell tell us again about are there privacy settings for the video? um, there is yes when you go into when you're on the screencastify.com and um, you go into I believe it's resources Um, there's a section in there that I'll talk about or it might be at the very bottom of the screen Also, when you're on the very on screencastify.com at the very bottom You'll you might see a privacy settings or security issues or FAQ and they can go to that Um, I asked because somebody said um, I copied the link. I sent it to my boss and to me Um, this person didn't have any issues, but she but the boss was not unable to see the video Um, yeah, I know exactly. Okay So I'm not too sure why they wouldn't have been able to watch it, especially if they're on a Browse should be because it's if it's a w if it's a web dot m file still Then um, they should be able to use it on any browser Um, yeah, I'm not too sure about why Why he wouldn't why the boss wouldn't be able to watch it So somebody asked this question. Do you have to change the privacy settings if you Are linking to the video that's sitting in a drive I did not I I have not had to do anything with privacy Like nothing and because we were talked about it a little bit yesterday, you know embarrassingly enough I I don't really pay attention too much of it, which is not a good thing But I admit to it and I have not had to do anything I haven't had a toggle or click or anything with any kind of privacy issues There was a there's a lot of discussion in the chat about I think trying to take a video video And so I think people have a lot of suggestions about um, what that what those issues might be I was thinking about that too later on as we were moving as I was moving along um, if you if you are If you are watching a video and you hit screencastify with your With your uh camera embedded You could probably Narrate it as it's as you wouldn't have to do the screencast of the video and then go back you could probably just watch the video and and Talk about the video as it's playing I I don't see why not. I don't think I've ever done it, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do that Okay, and do you find that um, if you Like you were telling us about how you could be playing you could play a video And then have your Web cam then go back and you know comment on the video as the video is playing How do you how do you find the quality of all of this video that you're shooting? Like do you find that as if you add that web cam component that it lessens the video quality Of the original video or things are Get messed up at all. Like how do you what's your experience fit? Yeah, no, that's a really really good question and um, I haven't done that yet like I just thought of it right now because most of the time what I've done is I had a video And I screencasted that Oh, okay, so I screencasted that video and the quality did go down But I haven't watched a video and then screencast At the same time as that video was playing if that makes sense So I did the two stepper which is like, you know a roundabout way and the quality went down But if I would have just watched the video and then hit screencast to buy At the same time I I'm sure that the quality would be probably just as good um Yeah, so for example somebody's I maybe somebody tried this for their homework last night Is it possible to use the tools? As you are presenting a google slide presentation So, um, this person said even though I embedded the webcam It wasn't visible when I presented my slides I think it falls into I don't know if it falls into um into one of those live You know, like the live whatever those three Those three positions Yeah, I don't yeah, I don't I don't know the answer to that right off the top of my head Okay Oh, um, we got a clarification about the privacy settings Good. Well. Oh, sorry. This is privacy settings in google So they're under the file once you click on the video to open it Then you go to three little dots on the top right click on that then choose advanced And you'll be able to configure your privacy settings on that particular video So maybe If people are maybe still having it like if you're sending it and people are still not Being able to see it. Yeah, it could be a chrome settings or google settings on their end. Okay Um, oh, she said sorry click on the three dots then share then advance This may have may go back to when you're talking about the toolbar originally Um, do you understand this question? Does pay annotation stay in place or move? When scrolling a page They uh, I believe they stay in place. So like if I go from one slide to another slide They stay with that slide we can I can try it see okay Let me get some new And then at least so while you're working on that um, so Does screencast if I work on iPads like if you're trying to create ipad No, I believe that it doesn't work on any mobile device Okay, uh, they're they're pretty adamant about that. It's like they specifically say desktop and top Okay Okay, so I have a slide. I just opened up a new slide. I'm going to screencast And I'll do browser tab I'll do this top Okay, so let's see if the annotations will stay Or did they go So you have to go back to the arrow so that you can move your slide to the next one and So they don't move. I don't know if that was the question or not. Oh it did for a moment Um but the the pen stayed So I hope that helps so like if you're on a word document or something or you know some sort of document And you want to get rid of you you move on to something else your your annotations won't stay on your screen Does that help? I want to um, I hope so Okay, um, let me see Oh So this is I don't like just just a teachable moment here. So right away. I know I know I don't want to keep this I'm just going to trash it. I don't have it kept. I just you know, let let it go and then Um, it has all my other ones and I just let the screen go too so If you're in in that position where you were making a bunch, you know one video But you had to make it a bunch of different times a lot of different takes You don't want to keep saving all those junky ones just trash them Because otherwise you're going to get confused on which one was the good one Okay, and elisa you actually just made a desktop recording So here's a question when I set screen castify to record desktop And click record I get a query asking me if I want to share my entire screen Or the application window I click application window and click share and nothing happens I I always thought because I don't get that when I don't get that prompt and so But I did I have seen it before and I thought it was like kind of double checking to make sure you don't want to do a tab Like are you sure you don't want to just stay on one tab or are you going to use your whole desktop? So I I'm not too sure about what the difference is But I always kind of thought you know instead of hitting browser tab I hit desktop and then it's asking me one more time. Are you sure you want to do your whole desktop? but But yeah, if you're hitting that Application, you know, they're just that app and it's not working Just go to the full just use the desktop because you could always just stay on one screen even if you say desktop Um elisa back to the annotations. What if you okay? Here's another scenario, I guess What if you're using a pdpdf like so, let's say you have a pdf on your screen Right and then you want and then you use the annotations within the pdf to do whatever you want to do And you're making a screencastify that Do you know what happens with the annotations in that case? um Well after the recordings then you'll still have your annotations because it'll be on the on the recording But I don't believe it sticks to the pdf, you know, like if The pdf in another file like just open it up again tomorrow. I don't believe that those annotations will still be there But they'll will be in there on your video How about this question elisa can you go between showing your face and the slideshow? um so Yes, but I'm not a computer, but okay, so I would okay. I'll show you to the best of my ability I'm on a computer. I don't have a webcam, but um, which is probably not the best thing on the screencast to find a session Note to self. I will definitely be on a A computer that has a webcam next time Um, so if I were on a computer this that had a webcam this would I would be able to toggle this on and off. I would toggle it on I would hit record So my the screen would show up and my little face would go right here in the corner and then um the toolbars the toolbar will come here and then uh, if I don't want my face anymore I would just click on that little camera on the toolbar and my face would go away And then later on if I want my face again to say goodbye or whatever it is I'd hit the camera again and there's my face So was that was that the question? I'm sorry. I kind of got lost in what I was saying Um, I think that's the question it sounds like maybe As you suggested sort of going back and forth between your face and then the slideshow. Yeah Okay, um a couple of toolbar questions Um and and remind me at least so where is system audio? System somebody's asking what does system audio do? I hit screencastify And I hit the hamburger on the left hand side And then so you have all these different other options here too and um, and I just hit options It's kind of like the gear. It's like settings And then um, just double make sure when I did this one other time It was clicked here and I don't know why but you always kind of wanted to have uh, Save to google drive and that was one of the things we we talked about at the very beginning when you first set up your account Uh notifications You know, you you decide how you want to be notified. Here's that keyboard shortcuts Here's the one I was telling you about or you have the view drawing tools shortcuts So if you get rid of excuse me if you get rid of your um tool bar How do you get it back? So here's all they see you were right alt t show and hide your toolbar. So if you um, don't if you decide to enable having the toolbar there from the very beginning, but you remember you memorized some of these Um shortcuts you can start using it without even having to the toolbar on your Um, if the toolbar is taken up too much look, uh real estate on your screen You can toggle back and forth Using the tools just by shortcuts. So that's kind of interesting um record settings Here's that privacy. Oh, see I didn't have to do this, but here it is Here's a privacy issue thing Um, is is this what was this what she said or the person said Optimize system audio. So maybe if we can't find it right now, that's okay. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry I don't I don't know exactly where that is unless they can clarify exactly where they found that Okay, so why don't we um, why don't you continually see what's here? All right. So now we're going down to download. Okay, so After you stopped recording your hit you have all the options of sharing and then below that you have the options to download So download that will download straight into your computer pre self-explanatory Oops would be nice for one percent Um, the next one is um export as an mp4. I know what an mp4 is. Um, I don't know What I would why I would export it as an mp4 and again that might be maybe for websites or something if somebody else can Explain this more. Um, this when I clicked on this. This is what came up So, uh, I don't I maybe just to have it as an mp4 on my computer Um, I think if I download maybe it'll download as a web.m But if I wanted actually as an mp4 then I would use this Um, but but again, I didn't use it. I haven't used it. So I don't really know um export audio I clicked on this and this is what happened. This is what came up and um, you can um Download it as an mp3. So you can if you were using if you're doing podcasts Or if you wanted to do a listening test or something and you just wanted some audio for your students That might be a good way to do it and then um, the last one is a gif or a gif And these are short clips that just loop and we've seen, you know, you've seen a lot of them In social media and things, but they also have it For explanations for how to's So again, um, do you want to make sure that you have your microphone off because you probably don't want sound in the background It probably would just be better to have silence And then you just take a short clip and so this is the one that we saw earlier and I just was going to show you as an example So there's showing you how to screencastify more options Click on enable toolbar And it just repeats itself it just goes back and it repeats the same instructions over and over again That's what that is. So when you're using that you want very short clips. They're not long screencasts So this is um, this is not this is not one of the options that's in screencastify but I watched some really good videos um on the screencastify.com website and There was a teacher. So they have two courses that you can take and one is a master screen fast screencastify Certificate and it's an hour and you watch these videos and you learn how to do the and then you take a test And if you get 80 percent and then you demonstrate how you would use screencastify and send it to them They'll they'll give you a digital badge and then you you can get a certificate saying hey I I know how to use screencastify. So I did that and that was really really interesting And then the second one the second course is for like the genius course And it's a little bit more in depth and I try to take it right away And I wasn't really too I still really wasn't into the whole thing of screencastify. So I didn't I didn't do too well on the test and so But one of the the sections was how you use uh keep With screencastify and I thought it was really interesting and I don't know if a lot of of you out there Um utilize keep um melinda is huge on keep. I know she's she's she includes it in a lot of her presentations because it's one of the most universal tools that google has throughout all the tools and um So I just wanted to share this real fast with you So I don't know if you know this but if you're on google slides on the right hand corner You will see a yellow light bulb And that's google keep and if you're in Sheets google sheets same thing. You'll see it on the right hand side. You'll see calendar. You'll see some of the same icons on the right hand side And then this was email. I'm in my email and I have a google keep So and then it's on your phone too. Um, I don't remember ever installing it I think it just came when I had my phone. I think I I had a google folder already Installed in my phone and so it had keep in there Um But what keep does it's kind of note taking or you know, just the you can make to-do lists You can do many many things But what's cool about it is that you can do it on any platform And then when you open up a different platform you open up the keep and there it is So Excuse me So for example, um, this was in email I I made a note to myself and then I opened it up And I made oh, this was the other thing So I made a note and I had a screencast if I and it automatically opened in it automatically saved in my Keep notes because I had it opened and so then when I went to My slides it was there too So I don't have to like I didn't have to go jump through a lot of hoops to get to the same place so It's again, it's one of those rabbit hole things. I mean If it works for you and it and it helps you and if you were to use keep This is another way you can use screencast if I with that if you're not using keep right now If you're you know, if you feel like you want to learn more about it, then there's tons of tutorials All right, so real quick. Let's take one minute to chat So now that you know what it is and how to make a recording and how to make different ways to use it How will you use it with your students and your colleagues? Please type it in the chat so I can get some sort of idea when I look back at this How you feel like maybe you want to start using it with students and colleagues Maybe as they're typing Anthony if there's some questions I can answer them Oh, are you we're gonna show us about the trimming? Oh, and also a question What is another question from Suzanne? What's the best way to stop your video? So that stopping the video doesn't show up in the screencast Oh Yeah, that's okay. That's a really good question because I go through that too like having like you're seeing me physically drag my mouse to the stop or the Two things you can do you could not have the toolbar there and use the shortcuts Just go through that shortcut and find out what the shortcut is to stop a video um, or You can excuse me You can at the end of your whatever you were recording before you hit stop have a few seconds of pause Maybe one one or two seconds of pause Of nothing. I'm sorry. I've not paused don't pause it Of nothingness and then end your video and then when you want you can trim the end of it So they don't see you actually Physically moving your mouse to stop the video I've I've kind of played with that a little bit too because I I get to the point where I kind of just I'm like, I don't care It's like I'm trying to find and because my computer was so slow It's like taking a long time to get to the stop button to this options And I I was like, okay, I can trim this and I can make it like look nicer But I was so tired last night. I said, I don't think I'm going to do it But yeah, there is a way so let me um, let's let me exit out of this Excuse me Let me open up a new Slide I don't know why but we'll just do it that way. I'm going to start my screencast And I'll have my recording I'm going to record Oh, here's that application window that she was talking about so you can choose I guess I have another application open So you can choose which ones you would like to talk about between I just use this one all the time Okay, so let's see how we demonstrate Maybe not having anybody see me actually stopping the video So as I'm you know, presenting. Oh otan, you know, we have our otan logo here And you're going to type your title here And this is where you would put the body of your slide And I'm done and I'm coming up here and I'm clicking on This and it's taken a long time, but it's still screen and then I finished that You know, so you actually got to see like two seconds of me, you know going through and and finishing the video So here it automatically plays Maybe actually stopping the video. Here's me. So as I'm you know presenting. Oh otan You know, we have our otan logo here and you're going to type your title here This is where you would put the body of your slide And I'm done and I'm coming up here and I'm clicking on This has taken a long time, but it's still screen So you still saw all that and if you don't want that to appear on your screencast, which I totally understand This is where the trimming comes in. Okay, so you can trim from the front end and from the back end Now I've had to play with this a little bit because it seemed that it was um Hit or miss about whether or not it trimmed and it wasn't as user friendly, but once it worked. It was great So Excuse me What it is is I play the video again Okay, so let's see how we demonstrate. Maybe not having anybody see me Stopping the video. So as I'm representing And I'm clicking on okay, so I come down and I'm coming up here and I'm okay I don't want all that in there. So I have to go back And I'm coming up here and I click so I don't want that in there So I'm if you look over here on the timer is it's the total is 26 seconds And I'm at 22 and I don't really want that. I'm going to move this back And check and see what at what time do I want this to Here and I'm gonna move it a little bit more And I'm done Okay, so now I'm saying okay at 20 seconds. I don't need all of this Yeah, I don't want all this so I'm going to take my scissors And again, this was trial and error because I I couldn't quite remember if I was doing this right in my head I should go here to 20 seconds and I'm done And I'm coming up and there's a little bit more because I still saw that going up to the top And I'm done Okay, I'm just going to do a little bit. I'm being a little anal here And I'm done. Okay. So and so what I'm going to do is I'm going to trim now Remember, it's 26 seconds if I'm trimming up to 19. I should have the end result be 19 seconds Let's see if it works Okay, I oh it says are you sure I don't check this because I want to make sure every time So I I leave that on there. I don't know why Okay, so let's see how we demonstrate maybe not having anybody see the after slide And I'm done and I'm done You can go back and you know play around with the timings and such so it actually works So I'm I'm really glad because that would have been embarrassing But so you have your video. I you know, you stopped your video You you stopped video and this comes up automatically. It's saved to drive And you go through now and you listen to see You know, how much do you want to chop off from the end and from the beginning? So one of my suggestions yesterday was maybe if you want a clean start and a clean finish Hit hit record Silence for a second or so record record record record Silenced for a second or so stop recording And then that way when it comes up you can hear where it's a good place to cut In the front and at the back end and then that way You'll you know, you'll have a nice clean video now But be careful one of that warning sign was that be careful once you hit, you know Save trimmings it cuts it off. You don't get it back again So be sure that you know, wherever your scissors are, that's where you want to finish that video or start that video How is that? And Alisa also in the So we're looking right now at the free version. So yes, you said I think that you can only trim at the beginning And you can't trim in the middle, right? Correct. Yeah premium $29 a year if I had if I if I was watching this video and Right here. I messed up as I'm like, oh, I totally messed up here I didn't really mean that they would have some other scissors right here and right here And I could like scroll and say from here to here. I want out so um and it would it would cut that little middle section out and then Splice it back together again So if that if you do have the premium version and you you get that if you make a mistake Pause again pause for like a second so that you have a place Where you can splice it and it's it's effortless instead of like and I'm it And then here we go again. Yeah, so it doesn't splice in a weird weird place So, okay, so here's a previous question Okay, so Um, somebody has a video on their phone. So they save that video from their phone to google drive Okay, then the person made a webcam video and also save that to drive Now how do they put those two things together? Yeah, you have to purchase the premium because then you can merge two videos. That was one of the that's the benefit That's one of the benefits of the premium is that you can merge multiple videos together to make one video Okay, so otherwise. Yeah, otherwise watch watch your video The the the upload a video from the phone Play that and then screencast it by it and with a webcam and talk to talk about the video while you're While you're watching the video Thank you Um and alisa, can you clarify? Um, because you've you've been going back and forth between calling it a screencast and a video So so I think um, I think there's a couple maybe a couple people who are um, You know have used me or have made videos before are a little bit confused between Is there a difference between a screencast and a video or how do you okay? So can you can clarify that for us? Yeah video is the the end product right you have your oh and I also say recording, which is the same thing too So video can be anything it could be a youtube video, you know, those are all videos as screencast is um, you know, actually you recording whatever it is you would record whether it's the webcam selfie video or um, You commenting on a person's work or you explaining how to do something those are all screencasts So once you and I say screencast finds but they're actually screencasts because you can make screencasts with other tools as well So, um, I I'm sorry. I I apologize. I keep flipping back and forth between my verbiage, but um, But in my head it makes sense Yes, a video is anything and then the end result is a screencast Okay, and alisa there was a a couple requests Could you just show us again the the trimming um, how you handle the trimming again? Sure doesn't seem to be very Um, I mean just what you've been showing us so far. It doesn't you don't have the kind of precision that you have in other programs, so probably Can you show us again how you go? Yeah, well and like I was saying too it was kind of hit or miss because I've done that the same procedure And it would still say 26 seconds like it didn't it said save trimmings And it didn't save the trimming and so I kind of had to play around with it So just the fact that it actually trimmed where I wanted it to was a miracle. Um, so again, you know Free is free. I guess maybe is kind of what I can say And I don't know if it's more precise if you have the premium or not because I don't have it But um, I thought I was kind of a cool, you know, at least a little gadgets that you can use Okay, so I have my video I'm just going to pretend our O10 logo here and you're going to type your title here This is where you would put the body of your slide. Okay. I want to stop it right there So I'm at 18 seconds You look over here in the left hand corner on the bottom You'll see this is the total and this is where I'm at right now So I'm happy finishing my video at 18 seconds So I'm going to take my little scissors and I'm going to move it To 18 seconds and body of your slide Okay, and then it'll it jumps back a little it rewinds a little bit and goes so you can hear where it will actually start And I mean stop and so you can you know manipulate your scissors a little bit, but I'm pretty good there So I'm going to save my trim And it says be careful if you trim it it's not coming back and you say, okay And that's exactly what I this is my conversation I have every time so And then Here it is. Okay. So let's see how we demonstrate maybe not having anybody see my fast forward body of your slide And it finished. Okay so I Uh, again, I didn't do I didn't do what I said what I recommended But yeah, I would recommend just having just a second or two of a pause so that you can make a really clean cut It could trim and it's not awkward and sound or movement so That might help you a little bit if you want to make kind of clear And alisa somebody Comment commented that with the premium version You actually could If you did your snip incorrect you could actually redo it See Yeah, I mean, I don't know you guys maybe 29 dollars a year is worth it Yeah, yeah, that's I mean seems like I mean, I like all the free stuff But every time I hear about some premium stuff. I'm like, ooh, that sounds kind of good too You know, it's just more stuff to do more stuff to learn alisa a question. What if you okay? So if you have Well, the question is can you open the original file in screen castify and trim it then? And I'm wondering if susanne actually means like just a video file you have sitting in your drive for example And then kind of edit that video. Yeah, because it's not an edit. It's not a video editing. It's a screen cast Editing so like if I had a youtube video and I pulled it up Well, okay, that's not true. Okay, okay If I had a youtube video that was not ever in screen castify I I don't think I would be able to trim it But if I had a screen cast Screen cast from screen if I made something from screen castify and I uploaded it published it as a youtube I could go back into my drive and find that video and trim it. I mean and edit it then Yeah, so it's it's not an outside source. You have to use it within screen castify So I think so if you have the screen cast you can go ahead and At any time. Yeah, I can go back to my drive. Yeah, I can go back to the drive and um If I go to my recordings I could take any of these And and trim any of those Okay Okay, there's a lot of comments from susanne, but I think she's got she's gotta figure it out. Yeah, that's great I love I like that susanne asks a lot of questions because I think that a lot of other people have the questions also But either they're afraid or they don't want to ask So other people like nodding like yeah, oh good. I'm so glad so please keep them coming um Okay, I'm not amy. So I'm not sure what amy said. I just tried that. I'm not sure what that refers to But if you but she said can't edit it once it's in my drive Okay, let me let's try I I haven't ever done it In my head. I assumed I could do it, but yeah, maybe I misspoke. Um, let me go back to Let me just pull one up. Um I don't know Okay, so this one is the same one that we were just working on it's in my drive. So I'll just pull it back up I can't hear the sound though. That's weird So I'm at 14 seconds Yes, I want to trim and it's at 14 seconds But I'm not sure. Oh because I didn't mute Anybody see me actually stopping the video So as I'm you know presenting. Oh, oh 10 You know, we have our oh 10 logo here and you're going to type So I went back maybe oh because she said that she found it in her drive Because I just went to my recordings. Maybe that's you know, because I'm still in screencast to play Yeah, and she's and she said also, um, I I saw a different screen than what I'm She's saying right now. Yeah, okay. It wasn't the editing screen. Oh, okay. Let me oh I see what you're saying. Okay. Let me um, let me go to my drive So he this is my drive. I'm in drive. I'm going to pull up a video Oh, and I think I just answered my own question. I think I I think I realized what happens. Okay, so um, I forgot who was that asked the question, but um, Yeah, if you're in drive You don't have the editing tools, but if you're in screencast supply Okay If you come over here, you should have that video in my recordings and it's in screencast supply So again, like you wouldn't be able to pull a video out from out of screencast supply to edit it And that's what it essentially is so if you are in screencast supply go to your my recordings and then you can trim that that video Okay, and I think Amy also realized that as well. Okay, great. Oh, I'm glad because that helped me too Another question about captions Can you add captions at all? Um, I I I've read I have heard it's somewhere, but I don't know if that's maybe a premium thing Um, let's let's check. Let's find out Let's try it Can I add captions to a screen by video? The use of captions are incredibly helpful for all students Luckily, it's easy to quickly add them to screencast of my videos add captions on google drive create A transcript file go to google drive. Okay. Didn't quite understand what that said, but So it kind of sounds like yes, but Annalisa, I just um that Um, the link that or the page you're looking at I just put the link to that in the Uh chat if people want to copy and paste that and then they can go look at that captions page directly as well Great. Yeah, so it it looks like it does, but I think that's a good idea Yeah, so it it looks like it does, but I I'm I'm not looking into it very and mario. Yeah mario suggests Uploaded to youtube and then youtube Can add the captions He says also change it to spanish too But it sounds like you can't do it in screencastify and I think that that's the page. You just showed us I think is Maybe you need to work outside of screencastify to get that Oh, maybe I insert it. Yeah, and the thing that I've been working with with youtube also Is that one of the settings it said it automatically captions it and Excuse me the captions. Um, you know because we're most of our I think the majority of us are ESL teachers, you know, we perhaps speak more clearly probably slowly So the captioning is actually pretty good, but it doesn't put any grammar It doesn't it doesn't put periods. It doesn't stop at sentences. It just keeps running as you're speaking. So What I have been doing I didn't do this for a very long time until and so I probably have about 11 videos up that just have the The captioning but I actually put in subtitles now So I go in and man youtube makes it very very easy to make Subtitles and that way I control You know the capitals and the periods and and then and then I hit I just hit the button and it times it for me So and that's a whole youtube thing. Again, that's going down the rabbit hole. But but yeah, if you're if you want Some captioning or subtitles, um that are more accurate than what's what's Automatically given in youtube. Um, it's a really good option. So I've been doing that So I probably have another you know, like 10 or 15 videos that I've been transcribing And um, but it's very very easy. They make it user friendly Creating it so um Let me go to my presentation real quick. I I don't think I have very much left. I have we have 20 minutes So I'm let me just go through and see what else more I have. Oh, so here's that thing I was talking about with my account I went back to screencastify.com because really once you have it, you know, once you have the icon You don't really have to come back to the website to ever use it Whatever wherever you are on the internet, you're always able just to click on this and start a screencast Um, but I thought you know, I'm going to go back to screencastify.com and see what else they have You know some helpful hints or some tutorials or you know, what other cool things do they have And man, I found a lot of really helpful resources and they make a ton of of videos screencasts of their product So, um, you know, it's really helpful and they're very short so you can you know, watch one or two and not be too inundated And I think so um for me, um, I a lot I got to screencastify.com Um, these are your options Um for school You can go down you click on it and go down to resources And they have a screen castify ebook And a screen castify google apps And so I I copied the links and I made new links Just for myself, but if you want to take a picture of this, um, and you know now that we have so much free time, um, You know lounging around in our pajamas and you know eating bombons Um, you can you know look through these ebooks On you know different ways that teachers have used screencastify or you know using them with google apps I just found I found this at 11 30 last night. So I really haven't even looked through it, but I thought it was a good resource Um, I'm going to change the screen. So if you want to take a picture five four three two one and then, um Here's this option store. Oh the keyboard shortcuts that we talked about um, so you're going to go into the hamburger options and then they have the shortcuts for you So this this is just a few of those shortcuts But if you want to kind of learn some of them some of them that might be really helpful for you And you don't have to have that toolbar um On your screen all the time that would be good, especially if you if it's hovering over something that's important on your screen all right, so we've got show and tell and um We have some very brave participants out there that sent me their screencastify last night or this morning And I asked them if they would mind if I shared them and I thought that I would just share them with you So you can see what your fellow participants did for their homework. So Uh, there's no uh, we're in a safe place. There's no judging. Um, you know, please positive comments, um and let them know how much you appreciate what they did So here's Lynette Hi class, I want to show you how to use my website To go to the spelling games and practice your spelling in a fun way So here we are at my website and I'm going to go up to the top here And I'm going to click spelling When I click on spelling it takes me to my spelling page And I want to click on spelling city It's the first link That takes me to my spelling city page and you'll see many lists here Pick the regular verbs any one of these and click on games When you click on games make sure you're looking at free games. There should be about nine free games You can use this to practice your spelling To test your spelling and to play games So here's a how it can teach you I'm going to go here and hit play And there's my list So if I want to know how to spell the word I can click on it went W E N T went I went to the party but left early went So that's the pass to go it gives you the spelling And also in a sentence And then I want to play some games So I'm going to go again click free. You don't want to pay for anything And there's many games here One is a word search So if I click here, I'm going to look for those words Hit play Welcome to word search. Let's search Search the grid for your words when you find one click and drag to highlight it Okay, so I want to go and find my words. This is great for my spelling. I'm going to click here There's went went Okay, and you have a few minutes to do that. So that's a fun game Let's see what else we can play again free There's the hang mouse that we play in class. I'm going to fast forward this real quick because I just want to get to the Oh, of course The the end of linets is priceless And I hope I can do this without Clicking out of it again Hi class. I want to show you how to use my website Get ready for the test And I will tell you how you did So I can't see your homework here So when you finish, you just want to send me an email and tell me how long did you study your spelling? I hope you have fun with it And have a great day Okay, so um that was linets video and it's like so incredible Um, and so some of the things that I noticed are actually, I mean if you want to make some comments about what you noticed Um, you know with her video Um, I don't think I can't tell her enough But I don't think that she's even using a headset like earbuds on a microphone I think she's using the the audio from her computer And it's clear and and that surprises me. So I mean, that's great I mean, if you have a computer that that can pick up sound That clear without an echo more power to you. I mean I I tend to always use um a microphone You know earbuds with the microphone and then also The audio from her computer clear and loud when they did the spelling w e n t it was very loud. So a student is watching this video There was no chance that they didn't hear that that audio. So I I thought the I thought those were really great Um, anthony are there's some comments about the video that we can share Awesome fantastic. I agree really great She did there is a question about if uh, Lynette wrote a script at all and um And how many takes that you know, was this was this the first time or did you try it a couple times? I'm not sure if Lynette's in the room or not. Maybe she could just put in the chat or Yeah, and um, uh, I I talked to a couple of different people and I don't want to confuse her but I did talk to someone that said it took them 11 times Um, because they I think they said that they had to keep stopping when they changed tabs or something And so we kind of discussed that a little bit, but I don't know if that was Lynette or not But um, but yeah, I again If you could do it in one take. Oh my gosh, that's awesome But yeah for me it takes me sometimes it takes me a few takes it, you know depends on how Kind of perfect I want it or you know, the best it could be Um, if it's kind of if I'm in a rush or if it's just something that's not as important for me to have A perfect quote-unquote uh screencast. I you know, I'm doing one take and I'm shooting it off But yeah, yeah, I could you know, I'm not sure whether Lynette used the script or not But I think at least to have a plan Yes, how you're going to proceed through From start to finish Um, and also I noticed that um, you know people had a lot of questions Not a lot but people were asking about you know or commenting on The free version you only get up to five minutes, right? Right, but you really should I mean if you're thinking about wanting to create longer than five minute videos Um, that actually might be a little bit of a You know some trouble because we want to make we you know, sometimes it's better to think about it in chunks for example Yes, so maybe you just have like a really short how-to on something And you know, maybe a second Short how-to on something and you're not creating these long long long videos The five minutes really helps you to edit in a way right because it keeps it Helps keep you very succinct in your presentation. I totally agree and yeah I made that suggestion yesterday to some participants about Yeah, exactly instead of having this really long is just to divide whatever your long thing is into maybe three And then make you know, the thirds and then that way Students aren't having to really sit through a longer video also, which you know If they only wanted the end part of it, then you know, they could fast forward But and again the longer the video the longer it takes to upload Um or download if they're you know, if the students are watching it. Um, but yeah, I I totally agree Yeah, so this is big, you know before you even record. I'm like if I was Lynette I would be going through clicking through the steps. So I know what was coming up next So I knew even if I didn't have a script then I knew what was coming up next So I knew what to talk about so it wasn't such a surprise. Um, so I'm going to move on to the next one Let me just double check where we're at Okay, so I've got 10 minutes left. So this I have two we have two more and um, this one And this is incredible. This is the first one I saw and I literally got tears in my eyes It was I was so impressed and I got to learn a foreign language. So Hola, aquí estamos ayudándoles Para abrir su Cuenta de google Desde el teléfono Y para que entran en su clase de google Aquí tenemos que buscar Su clave La maestra te ha dado una una clave De cinco seis letras O números Es la clave para que entran en la en la clase apúntalo luego Hay que bajar la aplicación Del google classroom en su teléfono Si tiene ya una cuenta de gmail Ya puede entrar aquí con su username y su password Si no tiene un email un gmail ahora tenemos que Crear una cuenta primero Okay, so I'm going to stop that real quick Um, so yeah, if you have comments for this or questions Please put it up in the chat and Thanks, one of the things I did notice was the the camera So there wasn't a camera available, I assume for the For the device that that you're on And but I'm not sure why it shows up here because I don't have a camera on mine either And I but nothing shows up. So I don't know where why this is coming up Unless it's one of those toggle things But yeah, I just I love how it's step by step And even though, you know, there's quite a few slides. It was only about two minutes. I think Uh, it's it's about three minutes two 58. So it's it's still a very short Uh video, but it's the step by step process So there's a students can watch it and go along with it step by step by step. I just thought that was incredible I have one more. Um, I have one more show and tell and then and then just an ending slide and then I'm done So let me um Move on forward So this is from Donna bar. Um, my fellow gg usd Teacher and um, she I believe I I don't I don't want to misspeak But I believe that she took a screencast of her power point presentation Um, and so, uh, let's go ahead and see what she did. Uh, yeah pronunciation of regular past tense verbs and adjectives with ed endings baked danced dressed escaped finished Guest, so I'm going to stop that real quick and um, I think what she did was brilliant because in her on her website um esl america.us um Everything has sound. Um, and so, uh, she has a lot of power points on there, but unfortunately if students Want to access those and they don't have power points. They're kind of stuck So I think what her idea is and donna you can put in the chat if I'm misspeaking But I think she wanted to do a screencast of her power points so that now all students can access the information and You know, so to be more accessible for for all of her students no matter what platform they're using. Um But yeah, I think it's it's a great idea that you know taking something that you've already done And then just re you know recycling it into something different and new and um available for everybody um I don't know if if donna you can write in the chat if it's going to go too fast or not, but um But I think that's such a good idea Why why reinvent the wheel just use what you already have and then just make a video of it Um, let me move forward. Okay, so here's me So I could turn the beginning Congratulations, you did it. I am so happy For you. I know that you're going to be great using screencastify and your students are going to love it Thank you again for coming to my presentation. I really appreciate it Have a great day I appreciate you guys coming and um, and I hope you learned one thing and you're taking it with you And you're going to able you're able to use it with your students and your colleagues And alisa, um, yes, there's there does seem to be interest in a screencastify for beginners part three Okay, so um, maybe I'll take a look at the comments. Yeah. Yeah, we can and we can Discuss and discuss and see about maybe a part three. Sure You
