In this term's staff hui we worked with school to develop the visibility and rewindability of their class sites.
The staff learning was to explore and use tools to level up something they had planned for their class in the coming week/s to make it rewindable.
When using 3rd party apps it is a changing landscape. This is exemplified by the paywall now on Screencastify. We have been strong and constant users of Screencastify over the years but this paywall changes things a lot. Having a 3rd party app Like Screencastify integrated into our Drive makes it so user-friendly for students - and teachers. It is a shame we have lost the functionality of this app.
Mote is another excellent 3rd party app that now has a paywall so we have gone back to suggesting the use of an online audio recorder for voice recording. There is some light at the end of the tunnel with Google developing a Screencasting app for Chromebooks. Watch this space!
Knowing this we included Loom as an option as well as Quicktime for Mac users.
