You have great stuff on here! I’m fairly new to recording student lectures and using screen capture with them, as well as powerpoints. I noticed on one of your tutorials (can’t remember which one) you had a feature where you highlighted where you wer clicking with a circle and it darkened the remainder of the screen. I love that! Can you share how to do that?!
Pam,
I currently use Screenflow http://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm. You can download a trial and the software costs $99. That is the one I used to just get that circle effect you are talking about. It’s great since you can edit it right there in the program. It only works with Mac though. If you have a Windows machine I would go for Camtasia Studio: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html.
If that is a little more than you want to spend than you may want to try screenflick for $29. It doesn’t have that effect but it does a great job of recording the screen and you can edit it in iMovie later. Here is the website http://www.araelium.com/screenflick/#1. Screnflick
Good luck and let me know which one you go with!
I have a question about edmodo (love and use the site)
Is there a way to share quizzes with another teacher?

Thanks for stopping by Mike.That is a good question. After a little trial and error I found out that you cannot “share” a quiz. However, if that teacher is a member of your class (as a teacher or co-teacher) they can assign the quiz/assignment to the group.
Hope this helps!

Hi have watched your vid on templates, just one question. How do I get the txt to disappear when clicked on?
James good question. In my experience when I click in the area the place holder text becomes highlighted and when I start typing it just disappears. If you want it to go, try clicking in there and then hitting the space bar. That may make it disappear leaving a blank. I hope this answered your question, but if not please reply. As always thanks for stopping by IT Babble.
