Projects

A project is where all the content you want to share or present is placed and edited. When you want to collaborate with someone, you invite them to a project. It is essentially a recordable, multi-slide whiteboard with an infinite canvas that you can edit by yourself or with other people. You can create as many projects as you like, limited only by your plan's storage.

Projects can be organized in folders and shared with your organization, team, class, or customers. You can find and manage your projects in the Library.

Editing

As you start a new project you will see a Toolbar with creative editing tools to help you add, modify, and arrange the content you want to present or share.
Key tools

Add Media - import media files to your project.

Draw Tool - annotate, draw, and write on the canvas.

Hand Tool - move, arrange, and interact with elements on the canvas.

Zoom and Pan - use to move around, zoom in, and out on the canvas.

Learn more about all the creative tools.

Collaboration

You can open up your project for others to join by selecting Invite. Depending on how you specify the privacy settings the invited people will be able to edit it with you or just view the presented content. Either way, you are always able to use the Voice Chat with people in the project to talk about what's going on.

Learn more on how to set up a collaboration.

Recording

At any point of time you can select Record, which captures your voice and all interactions with the content. This will create a "timeline" within the slide that you can later modify with timeline editing tools if you need. Each slide in your project has its own separate timeline.

For more information, check out introduction to recording.

Web Video Links

Web Video Link is the primary way you share your project recordings. To create one when in the project, select Share > Create Web Video Link. This will let you share just the video you created, leaving the project open for any further edits. Each Web Video Link contains a streaming video composed of the recordings in your project at the time your link was created. You can create as many Web Video Links as you like for your projects.

How to start recording
Once you've installed the Loom recorder, visit these quick guide on getting started with the Chrome extension and the desktop app.

Both will produce a great recording result, but there are differences in their functionality. For quick, easy recordings made from For a side-by-side feature comparison, check out our
Should I record with the desktop app or Chrome extension?
within your browsers, you can record with the Loom Chrome extension. If you'd like some added features, such as HD recording and drawing tools, swap to the Loom desktop app.pricing page.

👉

How to share your videos

Simply copy and paste the video URL link into an email or another platform you use to communicate, like Google Classroom. Think of it as sharing the link of a news article or a YouTube video. You can paste the link anywhere and anyone can click the link to watch it, as sign-up is not required to view.

👉 If a recipient claims they need permission to view your video, you may have accidentally added a privacy setting to your video. For a full list of sharing options click here.

How to record a presentation

You can record presentations with Loom using the Chrome extension or the desktop app. However, the Chrome extension will not populate the camera bubble, so if you're recording a Keynote or PowerPoint presentation you'll want to use the Loom desktop app.

👉 This article will show you how to record your presentation with both applications.

How to use the drawing tool
The drawing tool is a great way to provide feedback and make quick markings on your screen as you narrate. Please note that markings will disappear after a few seconds. This is the intended behavior to keep your screen clear and clutter-free.

👉 This article will show you how to use the drawing tool. This is only available on the desktop app.

🎓 FAQ
Can I meet with colleagues or students in a real-time video session?
No, Loom is an asynchronous communication tool. With Loom, you can record your camera, microphone, and desktop simultaneously. However, the ability to conference call and conduct live video sessions with multiple people is not possible with Loom. If you'd like to meet in real-time we suggest using Zoom, Google Hangouts or Skype.
How can I flip my camera so I can read the text in my video instead of a mirror image?
For the desktop app: Open the recording menu, click on the three little dots in the upper corner, click on preferences, and toggle on or off the 'flip camera' option for your desired effect.

For the Chrome extension: Open the recording menu, click on the 'show advanced options' and check or uncheck the flip camera box option for your desired effect.

As a rollercoaster school year rolls to a stop, students and teachers already are planning their return to their classrooms for summer and fall. A silver lining to the craziness of the past year - educators can see themselves and their students feeling more comfortable using tech to aid their teaching and learning.

To help support students and teachers in continuing their mastery, we put together 10 ideas for how Screencastify can be used creatively as K-12 schools prepare to go back to the classroom for in-person learning.

‍

1. Video for Modeling and Instructions

Whether creating a flipped classroom or giving students a chance to revisit direct instruction, teachers can create short walkthroughs of how to interact with any topic - from standard distribution z-scores to creating Google Drawings to navigating new software.

Here are a few more examples:

Show how to solve math problems with Screencastify Record.

Students walk you through the process of how they solved a math problem with Record and Screencastify Submit.

Provide a student-led walkthrough as a peer example for other students to follow.

Learn more about video for instruction in this episode of EdTech Heroes:

2. Assignments for a Single Student

Use Screencastify Submit to create an assignment folder for a single student that can act as a portfolio where the student can keep returning to submit multiple recordings throughout the entire year. For example, this can be used to check on reading progress for a student.

‍

3. Revisiting Lessons

"I see screencasts as a way to help my scholars access content when they're ready, provide my students the ability to revisit lessons, and most importantly for my scholars to be able to receive instruction before a lesson. I also see screencasts as a way for me to help make visible to our families what is happening in our classroom. I see this as a powerful tool moving forward."
- Josh Langenbach, 6th Grade Teacher
‍

4. Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-Teacher conferences are incredibly important to any student's success and give parents a crucial avenue to communicate their own thoughts.

Here are ideas for using video to securely facilitate Parent-Teacher conferences and keep parents informed and engaged:

Record digital logs of students' journeys and progression.

Show parents a collection of work that students have completed with Screencastify videos.

If parents are having trouble accessing the "Parent Portal" of grades, create video walkthroughs to show them how to sign up for parent emails (Canvas, PowerSchool, Google Classroom).

Submit assignment for parents. For example, ask the parents to "Submit your concerns, and we discuss them during our Parent-Teacher conference."

Parents' own "show and tell" - ask that they show something that their child enjoys and tell you about it in order to capture the positive aspects of each child. This could be shared with the student to make them feel more confident.

‍

5. Create a 'Questions and Concerns Corner'

Invite students to securely capture their comments and concerns with a Submit video that only the teacher can view. Having a space where students will know that only the teacher have access, can serve as a safe place for them to share their struggles, concerns or triumphs.

Practicing how to share their thoughts and describe their feelings can be an excellent way to work on their emotional intelligence. (Reminder that May is Mental Health Awareness month, and the perfect time to discuss these topics with students!)

‍

6. Station-by-Station Instructions

Teachers can record instructions at different stations that each have a dedicated chromebook. Students can then visit each station and repeat as many times as needed.

‍

7. Learning During Extended Absences

Students will occasionally need to miss school for long periods of time while their peers are in the classroom. Screencastify can be used to record lessons for these students to watch while they're out or to explain the assignments that are being sent to them. Students can then use Submit to send back their own work.

‍

8. Maximize Flipped Classrooms

Teachers can provide pre-recorded lessons and instructions to free up valuable classroom time to spark discussion, answer questions 1:1, or engage students with small group exercises.

"I create units of me doing all the examples and practice problems from our textbooks to help flip my classroom. Every unit is themed with some outside topic that either I or the students find interesting. There are Easter eggs for the students to find, giving them knowledge on where math is used in this theme."

- Rebecca Klusmeier, Lanesville Jr./Sr. High School

‍

9. Use New Ways to Provide Feedback

Improve students' confidence and build a visual video diary providing individualized feedback to students. Here are some examples:

If students submit an essay digitally, teachers can walk through it and provide that virtual feedback.

Give students their grade midway through the video rather than at the end to encourage a full viewing and discourage skipping forward to the end of the video.

Homework (with scaffolding or peer coaching) that causes them to reflect on their thinking and their peers' thinking, and then provide their own feedback.

‍

10. Field Trips without Leaving Your Desk

In September, we showed you how to "Explore the World with Screencastify". Recording a virtual field trip for a visit that may be too expensive or too far to visit is a great way to use video for in-person learning. Here are some of our favorite ideas:

Virtually tour famous attractions with your class that are not in your city, state or even country.

Record a virtual tour and narrate your lesson over the video.

As a homework assignment, students can record a video of their thoughts on the virtual field trip and share with the rest of the class.

‍

More Easy Ways to Use Video for In-Person Learning

Narrating slideshows: It's easy to use Screencastify with Google Slides to narrate slideshows. Possible student activities to share with the class range from standard presentations to creative storybooks, animations, or comic strips.

Dubbing a video: Have your students play a video with the volume muted and record their own narration. Video dubbing is a versatile educational activity, as it can be used for language practice, creative storytelling, and plot comprehension.

Giving a speech or performance: Ask your students to record themselves giving a speech or performance before they deliver it live in front of their class. This can be a great way to encourage practice and reduce anxiety.
