Community Review for Screencast-O-Matic
My Take
I've always been so impressed with this tool given it's affordability. It's free, easy, fun. Students are surprised that they, too, can make videos to present projects or for self-expression. Technical support is always quick to respond, but I've had few technical problems. Such a great tool.
How I Use It
I've used it several years now to create instructional videos and as an option for students to create video projects. It's easy (and free) to create quick webcam or screen recordings. With the affordable paid version, you get editing tools to cut out mistakes -- a huge time-saver compared to re-recording -- add graphics, transitions, highlights, zoom, and so on.

It is so useful, that I have spent 2 days trying to get it to work like when I first started using it even though I have spent over 12 hours trying to publish, edit and download 2 videos. It is so frustrating that I am going to cancel my subscription and look for a different resource.
