- Snagit As A Google Drive App
I like to use Screencastomatic to make my videos, but if you are using a Chromebook or simply want an alternative, Snagit's Google Drive alternative is a great option. You will lose the ability to have a circle follow your movements and to...
- Screencasts For Chrome/chromebooks
I am sitting here enjoying the Olympics (long track is my favorite) and figuring out new things for the classroom/grading student assignments. One thing that has been missing from Chromebooks has been a way to make screencasts. Enter Screencastify!...
- Sonicpics (podcasting With Iphone Or Ipad)

Screencast-o-matic.com
I like making screencasts to show my students what they should do and/or teachers I am working with for in-services. Above is a how to video I made for Screencast-o-matic.com which allows you to make up to 15 minute screencasts (movies of what you are doing on the computer screen) and instantly upload them into Youtube. Since you do not first need to download onto your computer (as you might do for Snagit) and then upload, it can all be done very quickly. Finally it is entirely free which makes the price just perfect.
