__**From Wikipedia: **__
 * [[image:screentoaster_twitter.jpg width="197" height="156"]] || Screen casting allows you to digitally record your computer desktop. You are able to literally broadcast your computer screen. There are many creative ideas for utilyzing this in a classroom setting, but some include:
 * Program or Website tutorials (either student or teacher created)
 * Turning a PowerPoint into a video
 * Having students show their work
 * Creating a multiple website field trip or tour
 * many, many more (solicit ideas from students) ||
 * Screen Casting: ** A **screencast** is a digital recording of [|computer] screen output, also known as a //video screen capture//, often containing audio [|narration]. The term //screencast// compares with the related term //[|screenshot]//; whereas screenshot is a picture of a computer screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a computer screen, enhanced with audio narration.

Here are some sites to create great screencasts. As always wiki away and add your favorite sites.

 * [[image:screen1.png width="106" height="83" link="@http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/"]] || Screencast-O-Matic is the original online screen recorder for one-click recording from your browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux with no install for FREE! This one is personal favorite and the one that I use. It is very easy step by step with the ability to add text wherever you want and a recording time of up to 15 min. ||
 * [[image:screen2.png link="@http://www.techsmith.com/jing/"]] || Very similar to Screen-Cast o Matic, also allows for picture screen cast. Of course that is basically the same as using the "print screen" key on your ketboard. A matter of trying several of these and deciding which one you like best. ||
 * [[image:screen3.png width="141" height="63" link="@http://screencastle.com/"]] || Very similar to Screen-Cast o Matic, another web based recorder that is free. A matter of trying several of these and deciding which one you like best. ||
 * [[image:screen4.png width="132" height="63" link="@http://screenr.com/"]] || Another Web-based recoder-nothing to download. Plays everywhere on the web, even iPhones. Like the others it is free, just a matter of which you like best. ||
