Screencast is a computer tool that is very useful for recording lessons or instructions that require a computer. By recording the screen of your computer, you can use screencast to create tutorials or directions for specific computer activities, which can be very helpful for a teacher when using computers with an entire classroom of students. Screencast-O-Matic is one type of free screencast software, but there are many other helpful kinds of screencast software such as Screencast.com, Jing, or Screenr.com. Additionally, there are screencast software options for Macs as well, such as Capturer, Screen Record Tool Lite, and Screen Capturer Lite.
Below is an example of a screencast that I have created to serve as an example of the Screencast-O-Matic software. In this recording, I give a tutorial on where to find information about your computer's type of operating system, its processor speed, RAM, and hard drive availability for a Windows 8 Touchscreen computer. Creating a screencast was especially helpful for this tutorial since it provided a visual along with instructions to make this information easier to follow and understand. Please view and enjoy my short example of a screencast.
