Google says that recordings will be stored on Google Drive and can be accessed via a link in the Screencast appwhether you are at the educational center or at home.
Cast Moderator allows teachers and students to share the screen content of Chromebooks on a central display wirelessly using a secure passcode. Teachers will be able to control what is seen on the screen either from a remote control or from their own Chromebook or Chrome computer.
