What is a screencast? It is a digital, narrated recording of what is happening on your screen.
What can you do with screencasting software?
-Create training videos for your staff or students. Show them how to use a software, a website, or an app on the iPad.
-Take screen captures for training documents or web sites.
-Flip your classroom. Create content videos for your students.
-Have students record themselves solving problems on an educational website and then post them on your teacher site or blog.
-Do you have a student presentation that you would like in video format to publish on your site? Make a screencast of it!
-Digital storytelling. Students can voice-over images or videos to tell a story.
Screencasts are easy to create with some FREE software. Here are my favorites:

Screencasting an iPad app:
When I want to to screencast from my iPad, I first mirror my iPad on my computer using Air Server. With the Air Server receiver I am able to see and interact with my iPad screen on my computer. Then I just use any screencasting tool to capture my video.
