Hi Esther, the one that jumps out at me there is the Screenflow application. Do you by any chance know how it compares to Camtasia? We can get that one for free at work but I’d be more than happy to pay the 69 dollars if I thought there were advantages. Given I do a lot of UI and Web Design teaching something like this would be fantastic.
