 * Technology needed for making videos/screencasts
 * Video camera or webcam (not needed for screencasts - it records the screen, not you)
 * Video camera - flip video cameras are very small and relatively affordable. See this document for ideas on how to use flip cameras with your students: []
 * or use a webcam (most laptops/netbooks have one built-in now). There are 2.0 megapixel webcams if you want a little higher quality (default is usually 1.3 or 0.3 on netbooks).
 * Microphone (needed to narrate your screencast)
 * Your video camera or webcam already has a microphone built-in. But if you want higher quality audio though, try a USB microphone (such as from Logitech). The snowball microphones though are even higher quality.
 * Tools for making your own screencast:
 * Some free options
 * Browser-based
 * [|Screencast-o-matic]
 * [|Screenr]
 * Download
 * [|Jing]
 * Commercial
 * Camtasia
 * Places that can host your videos for free
 * [|Youtube]- 15 minute limit
 * What I did was create a separate google/youtube account to make a channel for my class: []
 * Advantages: very easy to caption your videos, this is the most popular video site, etc.
 * [|Blip.tv]- no limit
 * In an earlier version of my web development class I used blip.tv: [] and I probably will go back to it since I didn't have to worry about time limits, you can create separate channels with one account, and the quality was high all the time.
 * [|Vimeo]- no limit
 * Some instructors use vimeo, such as []
 * Video Editing
