Screencast-O-Matic

Screencast-O-Matic is an amazingly easy program to use to make Screencasts, or videos recording what is happening on your screen. The site allows you to make a free screencast without setting up an account, though you are limited to 15 minutes, cannot password protect your screencast or use the editing tools. A year long account costs only $12 and you can make unlimited screencasts. I have used screencast to create several tutorials for this blog. They can easily be published to YouTube for easy sharing. Recently Gennie began using Screencast-o-Matic. She made a really quick tutorial for her students (and their parents) for accessing their homework on Google Docs. She then embedded her screencast right onto her FirstClass website (more to come on that in another post!)so students could watch it at home.
