=Screencasting in Education=

Screencasting has become a very useful tool in education. Many teachers create their own video tutorials about new topics, to review difficult concepts, or to take their place if they need to be absent. It is also a fantastic way for students to demonstrate their understanding of concepts. When students create their own screencasts they can then be shared with the teacher to prove their understanding, as well as other students to assist in their understanding or for review purposes.
