New!  You can use WordQ to create and read scripts for mathcasts.  See WordQ and Mathcasting


 3 easy and free (or nearly free) ways to create mathcasts are using Ed.VoiceThread, Jing or JingPro, and SMART Notebook


 

  1. Ed.VoiceThread - www.Ed.VoiceThread.com is free or inexpensive ($10 and up) for educators.

      Upload images of problems to VoiceThread.  Comment on them in one of 5 ways:

         Doodling with mouse, text, voice, etc)

      VoiceThread is a web-browser based tool.  It works on IE or Firefox and on PCs or Macs. 

      We used VoiceThread along with images captured using TechSmith SnagIt to create 500+ mathcasts

      for our K-7 Mathcasts 500 Project.          Overview      Pricing

 

  2. Jing or JingPro - www.JingProject.com from TechSmith.

      Use with document camera, free annotation software, etc.

      Works on PCs or Macs.  Free (Jing) or $14.95 per year (JingPro). 

      You can record up to 5 minute mathcasts with Jing or JingPro and then easily share them through a

      free 2 GB Screencast.com (also from TechSmith) account or in many other ways (embedded in

      InterWrite Workspace notebooks, SMART Notebooks, etc).

      Jing (free) will produce only to .swf (Flash) output format.  Camtasia Studio can now import these as well

      as .mp4 files created by JingPro.

      Jing or JingPro allow you choose whether to copy a link to your screencast or the embed code to the

      clipboard.  The latter makes it incredibly easy to create a mathcast or screencast and embed it in your blog,

      wiki, etc.

 

3.  Using the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen is another easy way to record and share pencasts which can be mathcasts.

  See How to Create a Pencast/Mathcast.

 

4.  Using annotation software with built in screen recording and/or using Camtasia Studio (see below)

 

      You can embed VoiceThreads, Jing videos, Camtasia recorded videos, YouTube, and TeacherTube videos

      in blogs, wikis, FaceBook, etc pages. 

 

5. Using a combination of tools - See details about a project that Tim Fahlberg worked on

    with 2 exemplary 4th grade grade teachers where they used Livescribe Smartpens to solve and share problem

    solutions to 4th grade problems and I transcribed their explanations and tried to copy their written explanations

    using SMART Notebook annotation software and Camtasia Studio.

 Animated GIFs like the one above. Not quite mathcasts but small, easy to make, easy to record and produce (with Camtasia Studio - no kidding!) and then easy to share, easy to change, easy to translate...
