Updates from Google to improve student-teacher interactions

Google has introduced a number of features across ChromeOS, Google Meet and Google Classroom to help educators amplify their efforts.

Create screencasts

A new Screencast app has been built into ChromeOS as part of its M103 update. It will allow teachers record, trim, share and transcribe on-screen lessons, besides giving students an opportunity to rewatch lessons from Google Drive as well as create their own videos with the screen-recording tool. “Cast moderator is a new mode coming to select devices with Google TV that enables both educators and students to wirelessly share their Chromebook screen to a class display using an access code, so that only folks in the same classroom as the display are able to cast,” said Shantanu Sinha, VP, product management, Google for Education, on the official blog.
