Screencast

This week, I learned how to make a screencast.  I was nervous about doing so but in the end it was a great learning experience.  I used Jing, Screenr and Screencast-o-matic.  Of the three, Screenr was easier for me to use.  Jing must be downloaded and installed and Screenr  and Screencast-o-matic require Java.  Screenr is easy to use once you configure Java.  That was the most challenging part.  I had a difficult time figuring out the settings and I kept getting a message that did not accept the Java download.  After completing a Google search, I came across a screencast that walked me through configuring Java.  So, Screenr is extremely easy to use if you have the correct settings for Java.  I included two screencasts I created using Screenr and Screencast-o-matic.  There is also the Explain a Website app for IPad which can be used to create a screencast.  I was unable to find it on the app. store but it may have been temporarily unavailable.  Screencast-o-matic takes a bit longer to save the screencast and I lost mine a couple of times before finally getting it uploaded.  Overall, Screenr was the easiest to use and will be the one that I will use.  Please take a few minutes to view the screencasts I created.
