CamStudio.org

I teach CAD/Drafting, and it's about 98% on the computer, I've done demonstrations to the entire class, instructing all 27 students at the same time, but what about for the couple knuckleheads that aren't paying attention, or the students that got lost after you said, click on the icon that says SolidWorks. Anyways, I thought how can I have these students catch up without me going to help them because they weren't paying attention. CamStudio has solved this problem, it's a free streaming video software able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs).

So take your lessons to the next level and make them into something to share with everyone, put it on the network for all teachers to use, heck, if you have a web page or have a blackboard account, make these available to directly stream so students can watch and work at the same time. They are the generation of multitasking right?
