  • Edit your screencast after recording
  • Make a pencast using Explain Everything for iPad/ Android

Practical information

The workshop is focused on hands-on exercises and we will therefore recommend that you identify something that you want to record before you come. We will demonstrate the Screencast-O-Matic software and Explain Explain Everything.

We recommend, that you bring your own laptop (for screencast) and/ or tablet (pencast), but we have computers available here and some iPads as well.
