Screencasting tools are very easy to use and I think they are a great way to communicate information with students, clients, and parents. There are so many different ways to create them and publish them. You can find them on YouTube or "How To" sites, companies have even made their money creating and editing them. You can make elaborate ones or you can simply just show the step you go through to do something. There are a lot of things we can expect students to figure out on their own, but for some learning types they need visual cues instead of just words. This is one way to get all students the necessary information in the most efficient way. I am excited to use screencasting in my classroom.
Screencasting would be a great way for students to share and express sites they have found. This would allow them to show and demonstrate how to interact with a site they have found. For me,
as a visual learner, this is a great options instead of having students write papers and reviews of sites. Students would have to create a "script" to ensure there is a flow to to the screencast instead of choppy fragments of ideas.

Hey!
Thanks for stopping in the other day! I saw your screencast and you did a great job! That should work well for you next year.

You are a screencast pro! I was very impressed!
Liked your screen cast that you did. I think you are right that we need to provide more ques and direction types for some of our students. Some might argue that it is more work, but if we get the result that we are looking for, it is worth it. good job.
