Screencasting allows us to record the screen of our computer. You can record using only your voice narration, or a combination of your voice and the camera so it looks like a talking head in a section of the screen.
We recommend either Screencast-o-matic or QuickTime Player (for Mac computers), but there are a number of browser-based applications that also work.
Screencast-O-Matic 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.
In this tutorial you'll learn how to record your computer screen and your on-screen narration, or "talking head" at the same time, using just QuickTime Player on a Mac.
QuickTime Player is a simple, little media creation tool, with remarkable capabilities, that comes bundled with your Mac for free! You can use it to record high-quality audio, video, your computer screen, or ALL three at the same time!
That’s right! Using only QuickTime Player on the Mac you can record your computer screen, microphone audio, and your webcam, TOGETHER - to create that picture-in-picture-style video you see so often in webinars, online courses, and many YouTube videos.
