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.

Review so far

Google docs is a application on google where you can write your documents and it saves them automatically. Wikis is something that you can save your favorite websites on and save other things on. Assisted technology is technology for people that are disabled in some sort of thing where they cant use the normal technology. electronic portfolios are document like portfolios that are made of the internet or computer.
