The battle is on Loom or ScreenCastify
https://www.graniteschools.org/edtech/tip/blended-learning/screencasting/
​

ScreenCastify

Please see the posts here already.

​
Pros
  • Submit
  • Saves to Google Drive

​​Cons
  • NOT free
  • Click here and let me know if you want it!

Loom

Just as simple and works pretty much the same. Records video, screen, or both.

Pros -
  • iOS App
  • Free for life for educators
  • Desktop version
  • App Records Audio and Video

Cons -
  • Not as easy.  some features are harder to find but still there.
  • No Submit plug in.
  • Does not save to Google Drive
  • iOS does have a screen record option but does not include audio nor does it save it to your Loom account. (I think this is a pro!)

Are there others?

I am sure there are.  I am also sure there will be new ones coming out soon too!  But pick one of these two and KISS!
Stream is Microsoft's product.  It even transcribes the audio! https://web.microsoftstream.com/ Log in to your  O365 account to find it.
​
No one is stopping you from using both either!

PC's

Chromebooks (and Chrome)

 Part A - Windows update
  1. Click on the Windows icon (#1 below) and start typing u-p- d-a... (updates) "Check for Updates" should pop up. 
  2. Click on the "Check for updates" box
  3. Restart when or if it tells you to.
  1. Click the 3 dots by your name.
  2. Click on "Help"
  3. Click on "About Google Chrome"
​It will then say what version of Chrome you are using and if there is an update.  Different devices can only run certain versions of the software so I cannot tell you the latest version.

Part B - Update GSD "stuff"
  1. Click the Windows Icon. Click All Apps.
  2. Scroll Down to the I's and click "Ivanti Management"
  3. Click “Security Scan”. 
  4. Lock your computer. (Windows key L)
  5. Go home! ;)  ​Or do something else while the updates run...
However it may be best to have us re-provision your computer.

Other software

Normally you can check for updates in any software under a "Help" or "About" tab (or menu).  It all depends on which software you are using.  Perhaps it is settings as well and when the software starts there is a message that tells you there is an update.  You can turn that off (or on) by checking some box in settings (preferences) for that software.
