From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A screencast is a digital recording of
computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration.
Just as a screenshot is a picture of a user’s screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on his monitor.
A great way to provide high quality instruction at a low cost
Students can use this tool to record educational demonstrations
Avoid providing the same professional development classes over and over
Listen to a friendly voice explain exactly what you need to know
You can watch a screencast as many times as you need, stopping and/or rewinding at your own pace
