Screencasting Like a Boss

• What is your why? Establish your purpose for creating videos.
• Limit your videos to under 5 minutes. Need it to be longer? Consider breaking it up by topic.
  
• Personalize it by including your webcam image in one of the corners of the screen.
  
• Test your video on multiple devices, if possible.
  
• Get comfortable with one tool. Don't feel like you need to be the expert on them all. Teaching is overwhelming enough as it is.
• Make sure your videos are accessible. Students have various abilities and your videos need to have captioning. Pro Tip: Use the built-in Google Slides captioning!
