Another technology tool that I find easy to use and keeps a log of your previous recordings is Screen-O-Matic at http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/. I use it as a means of motivating students and clarifying select and key points when necessary. I find weekly encouragements using video to be more personal and better received. I prefer Screen-O-Cast to Jing because it is super simple. There is nothing to download, the tool captures whatever is shown on your screen and verbals captured through the computer's mic, you can create video that allows for student comments, and password protect content. To store more than one video at a time, unfortunately, you will be required to pay $15 a year. However, I find this to be a small amount compared to the big benefits of using such a tool. I find Screen-O-Matic to be easier to use than many of the features inside of the LMS systems. Compare the Screen-O-Matic tool to other screen capture tools, such as Jing, and let me know what you think. If you have other suggestions, please share them with me. I am always trying to improve on processes.
