Recently Google introduced a brand-new video recording tool called Threadit. A Chrome extension is one element of what Threadit deals. With the
Threadit Chrome extension installed you can record a video without leaving your Gmail inbox. Threadit is now the 2nd tool that I can recommend for tape-recording screencast videos straight from your inbox.
Looms Chrome extension is the very first tool that I advised for making screencast videos straight from your inbox. Both tools are shown in
this new video..

Applications for Education.
Both of these tools provide an easy way to respond to ask for tech assistance. Creating a quick screencast video to respond to a students or an associates question about how to do something on his/her computer can be a lot more efficient than trying to compose step-by-step directions..
