It is very similar to Screencastify, however I just like this one better because I can set the parameters that my screen sharing shows and I can also edit the video when it is done. It also offers 10 mins of recording for free whereas Screencastify only offers 5 mins. of free recording. ]]> 2020-04-23 16:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jedi_doyle/d2af1kc1ora2artx/wish/526366138 Jedi_Doyle https://padlet.com/jedi_doyle/d2af1kc1ora2artx/wish/526366140 I recently discovered Loom as an alternative to Screencasify, which I was using. Loom has no time limit, easy edditing tools, and an option to add a "call to action" button that with a single click redirects viewers to a website or resource.
