Screenr is a Web 2.0 tool that creates a screencast, which is a digital recording of your computer screen. Screenr records audio while taking a live video of your computer screen. It is free, user-friendly, you don't have to install or download anything, and it's easy to sign up and share.
Screenr could be used in classrooms in a variety of ways. Students could create project presentations using Screenr. As the teacher, I could create screencasts that instruct my students how to do a particular project or use a particular program on the computer. These screencasts could be stored on a class website so students could watch them as many times as needed. This would also be beneficial for me if I was going to be absent. I could leave a digital lesson plan for the substitute with a link to a screencast that demos what students should be working on. I could also create a screencast at home, and save it in my dropbox as an .mp4 file. It would be waiting for me, or the substitute at school.
