The tool is also intuitive and user-friendly, with a range of features and customization options to help you create high-quality videos.
A Must for Self-Paced Learning
One of the guiding principles for a self-paced classroom is a teacher that is accessible to the students at at time. Screencastify allows you to be in infinite places at one time. Students with spotty attendance retain access to all learning that happens while they are gone while students who master material quickly can move on the the next steps of the unit.

Video lessons make materials accessible to more learners. When a student misses a class or needs to review material before a test, it helps to have it recorded in one place.
