Education 2.0 & 3.0

I do use Screencast-O-Matic and recommend Office Mix if you use PowerPoints, but haven't used Snip much and Sway has a learning curve..other than Screencast-O-Matic, I really wonder how accessible these (and most) ed tech tools are..that seems to take a back burner...

EmergingEdTech has been running a Try-a-Tool-a-Week Challenge and this week Screencast-O-Matic is the tool of the week. If you have not used this tool and are interested in doing screencasting (also known as screen capture) take the time to review this video.

The free version allows you to record up to 15 minutes, but you cannot edit the film. There is a paid version for $15 per year, which allows for editing and unlimited length! Screencast-O-Matic may be used as a web app, or you can download it (PC and Mac).

This article includes a video tutorial on Screencast-o-matic, a video capture tool that can help you create videos for your students to help them in their learning.

Can save finished videos to YouTube, ScreencastOMatic or download to your machine. Uses Java, could be a concern.

This appears to be a simple screen capture / video output tool.  Might be something that could be shared with SMEs to help them create content quickly and easily.  Of course, as IDs, we still need to help them organize their content!

• I like Screencast-O-Matic, EDpuzzle, YouTube, Kahn Academy, BigBlueButton (open source web conferencing tool) and our Sakai LMS's (open source) checklists, quizzes and assignments at our community college.
• Other faculty use Office Mix (PowerPoint voice-overs) wikispaces, our Sakai "student content" areas (student project areas) and blogs.
