The Flip camera is great for all types of projects in science and math - at any grade level. Flip cameras are small handheld video cameras that can record 30 or 60 minutes worth of video. They connect to a computer with a USB plug that "flips" out from the side of the camera.
The benefits of these cameras include another means for assessing students understanding of concepts beyond worksheets and tests. Besides a teacher's record, the videos provide a digital record for parents and administrators to show a student's successes or areas which need improvement.
The advent of Mac OS X Leopard introduced a lot of cool new stuff, including Podcast Producer: a self-contained, automated way to create podcasts of presentations, etc. However, Podcast Producer's screen recording feature is only unleashed when your Leopard is able to authenticated to a Leopard server; hence Berio. Free, unsupported screen recording goodness that's great for creating tutorial movies, demonstration content and illustrative animations.

SoundNote is the best way to take notes on your iPad.
It tracks what you type and draw while recording audio, so you'll never worry about missing an important detail.
While playing back your recording, just tap a word; SoundNote will jump right to that point in the audio.
Use SoundNote's powerful drawing tool for quick sketches. It's easy to edit them, too. Tap a drawing to select it, or tap twice to select an individual stroke. From there, you can drag it to wherever you want, or tap "Delete" to get rid of it. Use two fingers to zoom and scroll.
free time lapse photography software for a while now and finally found Perios. Perios is a tiny download and very, very simple to use.
For my first movie I set the software to record one frame every five seconds but I feel I need to continue experimenting for improved results. Once the software captures all the still pics you have to export them as a movie file. I then added all the credits and music in Movie Maker. Too easy!!!
The only hassle I had with the software was trying to get it to work with a webcam. I eventually just stuck with the built in camera in my laptop.

I've been mulling over doing a screencast so I made a small survey looking for the best choices for Mac screencast apps. This is not a review since I haven't had time to actually try them all out. But if you're looking for what's available and some links to useful reviews, this is a good starting point. Screenflow and Snapz Pro seem to be excellent choices although I had people recommend iShowU and Zing to me as well. I tried iShowU and wasn't too impressed. I tried Screenflow and thought it was pretty amazing.

Mediasite is a great way to record presentations and make them available to everyone in your district, solving universal challenges like new technology training: how do IT staff members give a presentation to every teacher about new equipment, procedures, programs, etc.?
It looks like students can be open-minded after all: When provided with the option to view lectures online, rather than just in person, a full 82 percent of undergraduates kindly offered that they'd be willing to entertain an alternative to showing up to class and paying attention in real time.
A new study released today suggests not only a willingness but a "clear preference" among undergraduates for "lecture capture," the technology that records, streams and stores what happens in the classroom for concurrent or later viewing.
