2 recommended tools to Screencast

Screenr has been around for a while, but the quality seems to be quite good now. Since it is web-based, there is no software to install and best of all you can upload directly to youtube. This is an essential feature these days as you may be aware screentoaster suddenly decided to cease their service and all videos were lost. If the videos are uploaded to youtube, then they should be secure.

 

CamStudio is a fantastic opensource piece of software. You do need to download it, but the benefit of this is that you know you will always have the software. You save the file to your computer and can then manually upload to YouTube.

Implication for Teaching

Similar to Khan Academy, you can record a concept or enlightning instructional interactive for students to watch at a later date. I also find this incredibly useful to record a short video on simple computer processes for colleagues.
