TouchCast

     TouchCast is a free app for the iPad, and it is truly amazing!  If you are looking for more than just a whiteboard app, TouchCast is for you!  Teachers can use TouchCast to record tutorials for their students.  Not only can you record a whiteboard lesson live, but you can also insert a Doceri whiteboard creation that was pre-recorded.  You can insert web pages, live Twitter feeds, PDF's and documents from your Dropbox account, Keynote presentations, and much more!  So, a lesson on TouchCast can include the best of many worlds!  Once a TouchCast video is completed, you can upload it to a channel of your own, and then share the URL with your students!
     Students can also create a TouchCast video.  It is such a great tool for students to use to demonstrate their learning.  Students can create a TouchCast that uses a preset theme such as a news cast, a sports cast, a business cast, etc.  These themes have slides that make the creation of the video a quicker process.  However, students can also create a TouchCast from scratch.
