Screencastify is easy to use. I was so nervous and I had to do several takes but I did it. This is not a how to list but a few tips to help things go more smoothly.
Tips from a newbie:
1. I made a note card of how I wanted to start and what I wanted to cover. It was a little outline. Begin with a friendly welcome and explain your purpose. (I had to redo my videos becasue I didn't do this, silly me.)
2. I had the tabs open for the windows I wanted to share to help things go more smoothly.
3. Since this video is for my own business, I started with the free version which only give five minutes of recording time. (This is probably plenty of time because people probably prefer to watch a video that is 5 min. long or less.) I set the stop watch on my phone so I could see how much time I had left. I made sure that at four minutes, I was starting to wrap things up.
I have uploaded the videos to Youtube. I'm a newbie, so no judging. This is a big step for me and I feel really, really accomplished. Give it a try. It isn't so bad.
