Screenr.com was the screencast that i used second and it was very easy to use. I think it was a little more user friendly because it was easier to upload than the first one. I liked it better because of the ease of uploading it.

Screencast

A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. The term screencast compares with the related term screenshot where screenshot is a picture of a computer screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a computer screen, made with audio narration. The things I like about creating it is that it is easy to use and you can put it anywhere where you are viewing on your computer. The only dislikes that i have about it is the sound quality is not that great. It could be helpful to me if i am doing something that i might forget how to do on the computer and then when i forget, i can just watch the video and remember again. I think it would be most helpful to a teacher trying to grade something that was made.

Another thing is google docs is much easier to share because you can just write down the persons email address and share, nothing else like windows does like making you do a security check. The only other thing that i noticed was the appearance of the two.
