Video Demonstrations with FREE Screencast-o-Matic

Instructify (see link at bottom) have a lot of useful ideas and resources. Here’s just one of them. I plan to use Screencast-O-Matic to show my students how to use my Moodle courses.

Are you using screencasts yet? For the uninitiated, screencasts are mini-movies that demonstrate how to perform tasks on the computer. And making your own is super-easy thanks to Screencast-o-Matic.

Easy to use and incredibly useful – thats a combo that we at Instructify always appreciate. Screencast-o-Matic uses a transparent frame that you place over whatever program you want to demonstrate. Just hit record and do your stuff. Screencast-o-Matic records your every mouse click so students can see, for example, how to create a drop down list in Excel. If you have a microphone, you can even add audio. When youre done, export it to a Quicktime .mov file and share your teaching prowess with your students and the world.
