Screencastify

Screencastify is a video recorder and editor that works directly in Google Chrome. No other software is needed.  SSFUSD has installed Screencastify for all teachers and students, to use for free.  

Screencastify has been installed in your SSFUSD Chrome account, and you’ll see it the next tie you launch Google Chrome and sign in with your SSFUSD Google account.  But Screencastify still needs to be set up by each user.
