Clear, meaningful communication is the heart of every successful classroom—and Screencastify is helping teachers and students connect like never before. Whether you're giving directions, providing feedback, or inviting students to express themselves, video opens the door to more engaging, personalized, and effective communication.

Here’s how Screencastify can transform communication with just a few powerful features:

🎥 Record Once, Reach Everyone with Video

With Screencastify, teachers can create short, clear video messages that are easy for students (and families!) to revisit anytime. Record directions, read-alouds, feedback, or mini-lessons—and skip the endless repetition.

Plus, students who need more time to process language or instructions benefit from the ability to pause, rewind, and rewatch at their own pace.

🌍 Break Language Barriers in World Languages

For language educators, Screencastify is a game-changer. Teachers can model pronunciation, demonstrate sentence structures, or give instructions in the target language through short, expressive videos.

And with Screencastify Submit, students can respond in video—practicing speaking skills, demonstrating comprehension, or even creating skits or roleplays. It’s authentic language practice that builds confidence and fluency!

📬 Submit: Two-Way Communication Made Simple

Sometimes, the best way to check understanding is to let students show you what they know—in their own voice. With Screencastify Submit, teachers create a link, students record their responses, and all submissions land neatly in one place.

No logins, no hassle. Just real, student-centered communication.

Check Understanding with Interactive Quizzes

Screencastify’s built-in quiz feature lets you embed questions directly into your videos—turning one-way instruction into interactive dialogue.

Want to make sure students are on track? Add a quick multiple-choice or short-answer question after key concepts. It’s a simple, powerful way to check for understanding and spark engagement.

🔁 Say More with Less Using GIFs

Sometimes, a looping GIF says it all. Screencastify lets you export your screen recordings as GIFs, perfect for quick visual instructions, classroom routines, or tech tutorials.

Whether it’s “how to submit an assignment” or “where to find your next task,” GIFs make communication short, sweet, and crystal clear.

🧑‍🏫 Better Communication = Better Learning

Whether you're teaching in-person, virtually, or somewhere in between, Screencastify helps you meet students where they are—with tools that support clear, creative, and effective communication.

From language practice to quick checks for understanding, from GIFs to full-length videos, Screencastify turns your classroom into a place where every voice can be heard—and every message understood.
