If you use a PC computer we recommend either ScreenPal (formerly known as Screencast-O-Matic).
Even if ScreenPal works with Windows', Macs, iPhones, iPads, Androids, and Chromebooks, with Mac computers we recommend using Screenshot (Shift, Command, and 5) - or QuickTime.
ScreenPal is a screencasting and video editing software tool that can be launched directly from a browser. The software has been widely used in the education sector to support video creation for flipped classrooms, bi-directional student assessments, lecture capture, and student video assignments.
