By learning one specific application, you will have more time to concentrate on the content of your lesson.


Once you are familiar with one of the applications, create a standard set of option for your screencasts that include: Screen size and cursor options. Be aware of the different sizes and resolutions.

Use the same settings for 
the Slide Presentation and the Screencast Program
Be aware of the recording area.  
Practice mouse movements, clicks, and navigation. 
Take your time with mouse movements. Slower moves look better.
Stop over an area to emphasize, hover for a second before moving away.

Have patience, you may need to do a few takes before a comfortable flow of actions is achieved.
