I completely agree and the 5 minute limit is really good at keeping us on task and students engaged. I made a bunch of 5 minute single topic lessons and tutorials this week but reluctantly upgraded this weekend because I needed to do a 10 minute video for a Science teacher. I do think high school and middle school teachers often need to do content videos that are longer than 5 minutes, much more so than librarians, but hopefully they are keeping them as short as they possibly can. But I'm determined to keep my regular lessons and tutorials to 5 minutes or less as much as possible going forward, even with the upgrade :)

Alexandra,
Thanks so much for sharing this link and code! I love Screencastify and am so glad to have access to extra features now. However, I do think 5 minutes is plenty for tutorials/lectures! I much prefer a series of short, single-topic videos over a long, all-encompassing video. That way, I can just watch what I need and tackle info in smaller chunks. Just a thought for anyone who is planning to send out screencasts to students and/or teachers.
Thanks,
Cyndi

If you go to https://account.screencastify.com/user/subscribe<https://t.co/g1uyu4jzu5?amp=1> and put in the coupon code CAST_COVID. Screencastify will upgrade you for free so you don't have the 5 minute limit.  Upgrade does not require you to put credit card info in. Good until April 30.

Does anyone (and I'm guessing you do) have a suggestions for free screen casting? Screencastify has a free version but it's only in 5 minute lengths.


Thank you and Wash Your Hands.
