The Process
Recording a screencast
Step 1: Choose a screecasting tool:
It is helpful if you have access to a computer with a built-in web cam, but it's definitely not a necessity.
Jing (Freeware, easiest. They'll host it for you too.)
Quicktime (Freeware, if you have a Mac. You'll need Pro if you have Windows)
Camstudio for Windows (Freeware)
Copernicus for Mac (Freeware)
