Creating screencasts has been one of my favorite things to do when working with technology. I have used this to help teachers and students with troubleshooting or professional development. It's a great tool to demonstrate how to solve a problem or clarify a multi-step procedure. 

Top 10 Sites/Applications for Creating Screencasts

1.  Screen Flow - Simply the best, most robust application for creating screencasts at an affordable price.
2.  SnapZpro  - While not as many features of Screen Flow, more affordable and easy to use.
3.  Jing  - One of the more popular free applications for recording screencasts (unpaid version saves as a swf file).
4.  Screenjelly  - Probably the most user-friendly site to use for recording video and uploading to a number of sites.
5.  Camtasia  - Great application for Windows, similar to Screen Flow.
6.  Screenr  - Excellent free site for recording screens with an iMovie type interface.
7.  ScreenCastle  - One of the best and easiest ways to record a screen and share or embed with others.
8.  Sequence  - Very affordable Mac application for creating screencasts with the ability to draw or comment.
9.  Screenium  - A nice Mac application at a nice price.
10.  Screen Flick  - A Mac application with many export features.

Screencast-O-Matic http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ is free and easy. Good quality for training, presentation capture when Internet is not available, and collaborative discussions using wikis or VoiceThread.
