What is it?
»A screencast in its most basic form is a video of your computer screen's activity. It allows you to capture what you are doing on your computer in real time as a video , for instance:› Presentation (e.g. PowerPoint)› Demonstration of software› Any other process on the computer (e.g.
navigating a website)
»This process is called ‘screen capture’
Audio commentary
In addition to screen capture, a screencast will include
a voice-over, describing the screen action, delivering the
presentation or other content, offering guidance or training in a software process etc.
This voice-over is usually recorded at the same time as the screen capture, to ensure synchronisation, though it can be recorded afterwards. The
voice-over will guide the viewer through the content,
providing instruction or content.

Why should I?
Speed – it is easier to show
someone how to do something
than explain it.
People connect better with the voice than just
the printed word on screen.
It can be viewed and re-viewed by
the learner at any time.

Progress
Preparation
»A short explanation of a process with which you are familiar can be done on the fly without much prep.
»Scripts are worth doing if it is a long presentation. You’ll find it easier to keep a relaxed but lively delivery if you are not thinking about which words to use. Write in a style which reflects your normal spoken delivery.
»Keep it short! For your sake and your students’. 10 minutes is the absolute maximum.

Rehearsal
»Run through the presentation once or twice speaking out loud – this will ensure you are familiar with the material, then do it while running through the activity.

Get it right in the recording and minimise editing.
Web applications – little chance to edit – have to record both actions and voice at same time.
Commercial software – better editing facilities. Can record actions and voice separately
Possible to record in short sections and edit the sections together in the software
What are the possibilities?
Capture & narrate web-based projects
and tools like Google Sketchup, Google Earth,...
Math processes & problem-solving
science concepts, events, digital
microscope capture, browser-based activity,...
Weather Forecasts (using weather
map images and other online data)
Map Skills (directions, scale, coordinates, ... Try it with GoogleMaps
or Google Earth)
Response to literature (book reviews, plot,
theme, characterization,
authors...)
Reflecting on writing pieces or learning portfolio
