Computer Screen Capturing

Computer screen capturing has many different useful applications in the realm of teaching and learning.  Not only does image capturing capture the image of your computer's screen, but it can often time capture a voice recording you make to annotate what you are explaining.  Some ideas you could incorporate into your educational setting include tutorials on how to access a given website on the internet from home, demonstrating how to use specific programs on the computer, or having students record a task they are completing as an assessment piece.  Some of the programs you can use for screen casting include: Screenr, Screencast-O-Matic, Screencast.com, Jing, Capturer, and Screen Record Utility Lite.

To show you a simple use for screen casting, I have made a quick tutorial on how to identify some fo your computer's important information.  The four main objectives of my screen cast was to teach you a basic method for finding your computer's operating system, the processor and its speed, the amount of RAM your computer has, and how to identify your hard drive space.  I would encourage you to check it out and consider ways that you could incorporate screen casting into your class!
