Create free screencasts without installing software!

Have you ever wanted to show a student or colleague how to access something on the internet or some sort of interesting feature, but they were not within computer monitor viewing distance?

Maybe you have a student that swears they cannot find an important assignment on Blackboard.
Now, you can easily create a screencast from your computer and save it as an MP4, upload it to YouTube or Twitter, or create a flash file to play on the web. You can even embed the video to play in your blog, wiki or website. And it's free.


The application is called Screenr.
A great tutorial on how to use Screenr can be found on The Rapid E-Learning Blog.
