Capture Screen Actions with Screencast-O-Matic

Are you looking for a way to capture computer screen actions to show others? Try screencasting!  JTHS has a Screencast-O-Matic license which allows teachers, staff and students access to their screencasting Pro Tools.

Features

Some features include the ability to Draw / Zoom while recording, access to advanced Editing Tools and use of the Script Tool. 

Note: You can record up to 15 minutes online in Screencast-O-Matic, but that’s generally too long.  Keep screencasts short and focused on 1-2 objectives to make them really effective.

Logging in

Access the JTHS District Screencast-O-Matic page at http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/jths204 . Click “Start Recording” where you can save to your device or online. You can also download the application.
