This is what Screencastify was built to do, and it does it well. In the setup process the default option is to save videos and sync with your Google account. If your own school is set up well, using G Suite and potentially a single sign on option like Clever, you simplify the process of technology integration for both teachers and students. Finding a tool that integrates with Google just makes sense. The G Suite environment is increasingly more prolific in schools. You know I love tech tools that integrate with Google. They were able to set up their Chromebook, click record, and easily create/access a video recording that automatically saves to Google Drive. One way we put this to use in a Chromebook environment was with the music students who needed to record themselves playing their instruments. For student projects they can use the “Webcam Only” option to record themselves or give a presentation through the Tab or Desktop options.
