Description

Bandicam screen recorder makes it possible to record a certain area on a PC screen, or a program that uses the DirectX/OpenGL graphic technologies.

It can also capture webcam footage and merge it with the screen capture (picture in picture, video in video).

Webcam settings

You can also highlight the mouse cursor and mouse click, and draw on the screen in real time while recording video, or even write text on it.

Screen recorders let you record video of what's happening on your screen.

Screen recorders can be useful in teaching, for example, when you want to show the steps of a process (e.g. using an application or program) for educational purposes.

Video, animation

If you use a short video animation to explain part of the curriculum instead of giving your usual frontal talk in the classroom, you will surely get more out of it.

Videos should be mitovating and short, focusing on the most important points. This requires a new way of thinking about the curriculum. What are the elements that all my students can learn without my presence as a teacher?
