Screencasts

If you have never ventured out to make a screencast but wanted to, Jing is a fabulous tool!  Screencasts are what many YouTube videos are.  They show how to do something while showing your desktop, map, or well anything!  Jing screencasts are for shorter projects.  If I can do it, any kid can and will love it.  The best tutorial is right on the Jing website!  Jing   Jing does require a download (free)  Screencast-O-Matic is another very easy tool to use.  It does not require a download.  I have also used the tool on the smartboard.  It is easy also.  Other than watching the tutorials on the websites, really no other instruction is needed.  If you need to show how something is done and you don't want to say it 100,000 times - try a screencast!
