I went through the lesson on screencasting today to see if I could get some good ideas as to how to use it more effectively with the on-line class that we are building. I have an wiki to put it on but there are some things with the districts set up that we have to figure out yet.
I looked at Jing, Skitch, KickApps and Screentoaster. They all seem easy enough to use and I like the fact that on some of them you can preview and edit what you've just done. Being able to put them in a format that allows you to use the iPod Touches that are going around could be very helpful.
I can see that using this as a tutorial for teaching students how to set up a lab or use a piece of equipment will be very useful, especially for our ELL population. I liked Screentoaster but there is a cost associated with it so for now I'll use the one from the district that we used during our podcast training.

Screentoaster is free to use. Did you see something that made you think otherwise?
Here's another option: http://screencastle.com/
Though using the district's software is great, too.
