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.

Ok, so I like this link because it emphasizes one often ignored point about "powerpoint" and similar softwares ... they're PRESENTATION tools, not online tools per se. I am rather surprised to find that many faculty are still loading publisher or home-grown Face-2-Face slide presentations into online courses and calling it engaging content... no, clipart is NOT engaging!
