The use of Screencasting

When I was introduced to Screencasting, it was a bit intimidating to me because I thought of how would I create a video using computer aided software and distribute it for viewing with using complicated media technology equipment, however, once I began to use the following software such as:

Free Options:
Screencast-o-matic (http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/) – Web-based
Jing (http://www.jingproject.com/) – Cross platform and
Camstudio for PC users (http://camstudio.org/) – PC only

I must admit that I became totally convinced that educational projects could be produced via the free web-based applications and all you would need to do is to download the software from the internet.

Needless to say, that November Learning has introduced another technology advancement for teachers and students to enjoy using while creating projects.
