My Take
Of all the many screencasting apps that I tried Educreations was in the middle of the pack for features and somewhat ahead of the pack for ease of use. It is fairly intuitive to learn. Older students will be able to get started on it with very little training and younger ones will catch on quickly once shown how.
There are better screencasting apps, but this one is well known and pretty good.
How I Use It
Teachers will find this app useful for creating quick tutorial videos. Students can use it to show what they know. I found it very helpful for showing students how to do math problems and will use it this year to have them show me (now that they have access to iPads this year.)

Fun interactive whiteboard and screencasting tool
It took about 1 class period to have students login to set up each student account tied to my class and begin getting familiar with it. After students were familiar with it, they were ready and wanted to work collaboratively on videos to help other students that needed step by step directions on solving math problems. The students that needed help really liked that they could go to our class library to view student created videos on the math they were working on. I liked that the advanced students were taking initiative to get creative on solving math problems in as many ways as possible to share with others and that lower students didn't just stay stuck with math problems or come straight to the teacher for help. They went to the class library that we created for student created tutorials. It really got all students, whatever their math or technology abilities might be, motivated to use it for their own learning needs. The only critique I had was when I had a problem with a student's login credentials, it took the company about 1 week to get back with me on it. I thought it might be a little quicker than that, the student had to wait around not being able to use it while all of the other students were excited about using it in class and at home.
