Who would have thunk it! I have discovered a great web client for recording my desktop as I teach. I record my desktop with Smart Recorder in my Mathematics classes, but Smart Recorder doesn't work in Linux and it only creates *.wmv files. So, I tried
http://screencast-o-matic.com
which works in Mozilla as long as you have the java 1.5 jre installed. This is a free service but I think its an ad for Camtasia software. What's nice about client is that it exports to *.mp4 format or quicktime. This video format is great for my students that use Linux or Mac at home as watching *.wmv files is difficult for them. Also, if you limit your recording to 10 minutes, you can post these *.mp4 files on youtube as I have:

That's my video channel on youtube, its like my very own private TV station, and I just posted the first 10 minutes of two of my AP Computer Science classes from this week! Let me know what you think!
