District to discontinue use of Screencastify August 1, 2023
(05/10/2023) Anoka-Hennepin will no longer purchase Screencastify for staff use, effective August 1, 2023. This tool was purchased during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to support teachers and staff with video creation, and is no longer being used by a number of staff.
EdPuzzle, purchased around the same time as Screencastify, will remain and become the preferred substitute for video creation for secondary sites (grades 6-12). For grades K-5, Seesaw or Quicktime will now serve as the platform for video creation.
Teacher licenses in Screencastify will be downgraded on August 1, 2023 to the free version. Visit the Screencastify website for information on the free version. Users will need to download any videos they wish to save out of Google Drive.
Please contact your technology teacher in your building for additional assistance.
