Soapbox is an excellent free Chrome extension from Wistia that allows you to easily create and share screencasts. You can use it to create tutorials and educational screencasts to share with your students. The process is simple and easy and does not require any technical knowledge. Soapbox records both your screen and your webcam simultaneously and then enables you to switch between the two. You can either use the ‘split-screen' view where the screencast feed is side by side with the webcam feed or you can show just your cam or your screencast.

Over the last few weeks I have shared my favorite tools for creating screencast videos on Chromebooks, on Windows and Mac computers, on iPads, and on Android tablets. Many people who read this blog work in BYOD environments or otherwise need tools for creating screencasts on a variety of devices. Therefore, this morning I put together a PDF featuring my favorite screencasting tools and methods. You can view the document as embedded below or you can grab a Google Docs copy here.

Creating a screencast video can be a great way to show your students and or colleagues how to do things on their computers, phones, and or tablets. Screencasting can also be a quick way to create a short, flipped video lesson. At least a couple of times a week I'm asked about the tools that I use to create the screencasts that I share with teachers. Here's a run-down of the three tools that I use more than any others for creating screencast videos.
