I have spend the last 2 hours learning how to create a screen cast. I was not familiar with the term but I had seen them before. I have actually used them in the Smart Notebook software. Apparently there are several types of tools that can be used to create a screen cast. These include Screencast-O-Matic, (which sounds like a late night infomercial) Screencast.com and jing. I of course use Screencast-O-Matic since, anything with "O-Matic" in its name has to be the best. I can see many uses for screen casts within a classroom. First being, in substitute plans. This would insure your students are getting the information in the way you want. Secondly, it could be use as a tool for students to access instruction on things they are either struggling on or may have missed.
I invite you to view my own debut screen cast on Screencast-O-Matic in which I simply show how to access basic information about your computer including the type of operating system and version it is running, the speed, the amount of RAM, and the total size of the hard drive. Enjoy my friends!
