Screencast-O-Matic
Create and share high-quality screencasts without breaking the bank
Pros: The intuitive design makes for a fun user experience, and the paid versions are cost effective and include a full suite of editing tools.
Cons: It takes time to build a content library; a gallery of standards-based, high-quality screencasts would be helpful for time-starved teachers.
Bottom Line: A well-designed screen and video recorder that lets teachers and students focus on creating engaging content from the get-go.
