Screencasting
*What is it?
*A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration.
*Why use it
*“From the point of view of the audience, the screencast allows them to learn by example, seeing every step in great detail. Learning by watching the host move through the steps enables them to take note of where everything is in the application or presentation. In most cases the ability to pause or rewind also gives the viewer the power to move at their own pace… something a classroom cannot always offer.”
