This free web tool lets you create a video of what you are doing on your computer/laptop (it copies what you are doing on the screen), you can add commentary/audio as well. I use this tool often to make video tutorials for my classes - it is a valuable tool for 'flipping in the classroom', aiding personalised learning. Students can work at their own pace and watch the created video tutorial once or they could watch each screencast/video 10 times or more if needed! For example, you can create a video while you solve an equation or plan an essay. Teachers from the same subject can share their creations to save time. Students can benefit when they can see a variety of techniques and explanations.
