I used Screener to create a brief tutorial for students to use just before they log onto a web site we use in health. I asked my husband to type for me so that I only had to concentrate on what I wanted to say. We recorded this once and although it is far from perfect, the job is done and it was easy! The web site has a powerpoint tutorial that can be used with kids, but I think what we made is better because it is simple, and it includes the video of the cursor moving from one point to the other. Check it out!
It's nice to have an assistant, isn't it? I agree - it does take a little getting used to, but as long as you script it out and practice a few times, it is incredibly easy. I use it for instruction that is repetitive for multiple groups to save myself from going crazy, as well as to ensure that each group gets exactly the same instruction.
