Screencasts are an asset to our auditory and visual learners!  Fortunately, screencasting is relatively easy to do.  I developed my first screencast on how to make a pie chart using Excel.  This allows the viewer to note the step by step procedures involved in developing this type of chart.  Students and teachers could develop similar screencasts to tutor others on skills that they have acquired and would in turn like to pass on to their viewers.  Students and teachers also might use screencasts to narrate slide shows.  This would be an effective teaching tool for both educators and students.  Finally, teachers may chose to use screencasts to provide feedback on student work.  We discussed how this could be particularly effective when it comes to writing workshops.  Teachers can deliver feedback to their students by using a digital pen while discussing writing issues throughout the paper.  All in all, screencasts are a wonderful addition to the classroom because many people learn through example.  This is exactly what screencasts offer to its users.  I particularly like using screencasts as a tutorial, because it allows the learner to view something step by step as many times as needed until they have acquired mastery and can duplicate the task for themselves.
