Screencasts



What is a screen cast? Basically it is a video of what you are doing on your computer screen, if you attach a microphone you can talk on this video. This is an excellent way to give tutorials, narrate Power Point presentations, or show basic information.

This is an excellent site for creating screencasts. It is free, requires no downloads, and best of all it's easy to use. This site allows you to download the file to your computer. Once you have the screen cast you can import it into a Power Point post it on a website.

Jing is another application that helps you to create screencasts. It also allows you to take a picture of your computer screen and than write instructions in text boxes on th screen. It is required that you download it to your computer.

This is an open source software program, so it is free but it is a bit cumbersome to use.

The most professional of all the screen cast programs but since its Adobe it is expensive. The others better options for the frugal administraor.
