As teachers explore new ways for students to "show what they know" utilizing technology from tablets, smartphones and other devices, screencasting has become a popular choice. Using a screencasting tool such as "ShowMe" or "Screencast.com" or "Educreations" students can create videos with images, content and audio for a variety of subjects and content areas. However, most screencasting tools and apps do not provide for an easy way to share these propreitary files after creating them.
ScreenChomp is a new application taht may be the answer for teachers looking to embark into the foray of screencasting with their classes. The app is free, has an online website for computer users, and promises the ability to share recorded files in various formats - a web address that anyone can access, an MPEG-4 file, a twitter share, etc. Though the tools are limited in this free app, the ability to share files may be helpful for teachers who would like to use screencasting with students, but need the ability to have digital file submission.
