Screencasting on a Chromebook

On Tuesday, July 21st, I will be doing a small Screencast Camp at Holland Woods Middle School in Port Huron. One of the most difficult platforms so far from which to do a screencast has been the Chromebook. I located some good articles though, and the most recent one is "3 Ways to Screencast on a Chromebook" by Jonathan Wylie.  Another is "3 Great Tools to Record Screencasts on Chromebook," which was posted on Educational Technology and Mobile Learning's site in late 2014.  Both should be read and followed. I will use these to help build the Chromebook portion of the Screencast Camp.

Transferring Google Drive Data from a School Account to a Home Account (2 Methods)

This year, I have created a couple of tutorial videos and a set of print directions on how to transfer student (and staff) Google data from a district account to a home Google account . This transfer can include only specific selected folders (shown in the Method #1 video below) or your entire Google Drive (shown in the Method #2 video and the print directions below). If you are a student, staff member or teacher who would like to see the different processes, in order to pick the one that best fits your individual needs, please scroll down and check them out. If any senior student asks about this process, please direct them here also. All 12th-grade student accounts in our school district will be deactivated shortly after their last day of school. It is highly recommended that this process be completed before then.  Video Playlist (includes both methods in separate videos) Print Directions   (shows method #2 where you can move everything to a different Google accoun
