Here’s a reminder on how to post a Video Discussion

• Place your cursor inside the text box, click on the “Canvas Studio” icon (it looks like a computer with cords coming out of it), and select “Create” If your display is narrow, you might instead see a “More” icon (3 vertical dots) at the end of the toolbar. Click on the More icon to see the “Canvas Studio” icon.
• Choose the “Screencast-o-Matic” option (I think this is the easiest way)
• Click on the “Webcam” tab.
• Make sure you have the correct microphone and webcam selected, then click red “Rec” button
• When you are finished recording, click “Done” button. This displays a preview of the recording. Click the Play arrow to preview; click “Start Over” if you want to redo the recording.
• If you are happy with the recording, click “Upload” Make sure to add a title to your recording
• Click “Continue”
• Once it has finished uploading, Click on “Embed Media”
