Review on ScreenCast by Matt Watson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Product if you want something simple yet effective

I like how easy it is to upload my media files (mp3s or flv). The software works great when using multiple computers so we can all see what's happening at our table during service, etc! You cannot access local video content from other areas of town unless there are some sort of internet connections available for each location - which isn't always possible. We had issues trying to use this product as an interactive boardroom presentation tool because no one was able to connect via wifi throughout most locations around campus. This caused problems with connecting/uploading images/videos used to provide information about current projects being worked on and upcoming events planned. Also, sometimes we would have connectivity but not be able to view uploaded material due to lack of bandwidth needed to stream large file sizes such as screencasts. If anyone is thinking about doing similar presentations then try an earlier version first before purchasing since.

Pros
  • Very user friendly
  • Easy uploading process; even if you don’t know much technology.
  • Can easily send out links that automatically play videos in class instead just having them open up locally without students needing any tech support whatsoever.
  • Great way create visual aids within classroom settings where many people may need help seeing things clearly through slideshow format rather than reading text online
Cons
  • There are nuances
