With this partnership, Screencastify is committed to strengthening its integration with the entire Google Cloud Suite of applications and promoting more creative ways to make videos involving the Google for Education ecosystem.
In recent years, video-based learning has gained prominence as more and more evidence highlights its ability to improve teachers' effectiveness, student equity, and individualized learning.
With this rise, Screencastify has emerged as one of the top video creation solutions in the classroom due to its extreme simplicity and integration with G Suite. Across thousands of school districts, educators use Screencastify to personalize learning with videos aimed at aiding a single student or an entire class.
