Thing #8 Screencast

Screencasts would be a great tool in a classroom with an Active Board or even with a projector connected to a computer. Alas, I have neither (tear, sniff). I did play with several of the screencast sites, however, and even made a screencast, using Screencast-o-Matic, explaining how to use Yahoo! Mail for people like my mother-in-law that like to use email but get confused with all the options. In appropriately technology-equipped classrooms, screencasts could definitely be widely utilized.
