Screencasts

Hey Guys,

I am back with another new technology to incorporate into your classroom and library. Have you ever wondered how you can give a student a “How-To” virtually ,well this a great tool to use to walk someone through something.

A screencast is a digital video recording of your computer screen and usually includes audio narration. Not unlike a screenshot, screencasts can be called a screen capture video or screen recording and is a great way to teach or share ideas. I ultimately choose Screencast O Matic to do my screencast . It was simplistic and the online tutorial was very easy to follow when creating my screen recording.

Jing, a product from Techsmith, is screen capture technology. The two main types of screen captures performed by this technology is image capture and video capture. Both types of files can be transmitted to others via various means which we’ll explore later in this review. I found that Jing’s simplicity may be limiting, and unless you have the paid Pro version, any saved screencasts are in .swf format, which is not as widely accessible to applications as other formats. I was not interested in paying for the program or downloading it to my personal computer.

Finally, Screencasts can provide learners a student-centered and engaging learning experience in both distance and traditional learning settings. Also, a person can align screencasts with lesson objectives, goals, assessment practices, and standards, instructors can create their own screencasts rather than searching through the thousands of educational screencast videos on the web.
