Screencasts

Hi Friends! Ever wondered how people make videos of what they are doing on their own computer, and you see their screen? How do they do that? Well I have created two videos showing how to use a computer program for kids in a library, and I also created a video showing how to create an animoto video! These videos that you will see what I am doing on my computer screen has a name! It is called "Screencast"! Yes, it is totally cool and you can make some videos of your very own. Check my videos out. The program I used to create this video was "screencastomatic".

 Video: How to use Destiny Quest in a school library.


 

 The second video I created was used with the program called "screenr". Check it out!



Now using both of these screencast programs I would have to say that I really enjoyed playing around with these two programs but hands down, screencastomatic was so much easier to navigate,also publish, and embed to my blog! Yes all these steps were done within minutes, and with screenr, it took me a little while longer (don't want to mention the actual time it took me). Screenr was easy too, don't get me wrong, but screencastomatic was just so much more user friendly. I recommend it! The pros to screenr was the modern "look and feel" to the website, and I liked the automatic "share" option as soon as the video was done being recorded. Now I recommend you to try to create your very own screencasts! They are fun!
