Sarah Salm, Science, Using Bamboo to Enhance a PowerPoint Session 

Bamboo is an application that can be used with any MAC or PC laptop, converting it into a tablet computer. It allows a presenter using PowerPoint to illustrate features, mark-up documents, make notes or draw quick sketches on any slide. In the classroom, Bamboo provides an alternative to using a chalkboard to stress points made on a slide - the point can be stressed directly on the slide as you speak about it.

Chris Stein, Multimedia/CIS & Jody Culkin, Music & Art, How to Create a Screencast

A screencast is a way of creating a video of a computer screen while it is being used. Instead of using a camera to record the screen, the computer essentially records its own screen directly. 

In this session participants will get to try out a range of free to paid screencasting software and create their own screencast and publish it on the Internet. A handout outlining screen recording software, microphones and publishing options will be provided.
