Q: Does anybody use IPAD to record screen? If so, what app do you use? I can’t seem to find anything that can do screen recording directly from IPad.., for our Chemistry classes, we do need iPad to pencil the screen (for Mac users), also like to record the screen. – currently, we have to mirror to macbook then record screen from there.

A: ScreenChomp from Techsmith is free and allows you to record simple whiteboard type videos. It sounds like you just need to record a video on what is being written on an iPad and this is exactly that. It uploads the videos automatically to their server so it doesn’t allow you to download a copy but it does provide a URL to the video that can be shared with anyone. You can also upload Photos and images(jpegs of slides from PPT).

Q: Could you help? I need to make 6 power point slide-based videos and post the url in 2 hours for my class. Is it possible?

A: Sure it is. I assume that your slides are ready. First question: are you Mac or PC? 

Mac user - you can just record your screen with a QuickTime player. It is free. The instructions are here.
Save your movie as *.mov and post it at Youtube. You don't need to create a new account - sign in with the Google one. You can publish your video manually at Vimeo by uploading a video file. If you have a budget try Keynote

PC user - finally you have a choice. Try Screencastomatic - it works for Mac too. 15 min. long videos are free - much more powerful options than Jing. You can record a screen, web cam, or both. It is very user friendly. Download it, record your video. You have a choice to save your video as a file to upload to a website later or publish at Youtube. 

A few tips - please do test before you invest much time and efforts. Double check your audio devices. Make sure you set up your microphone before you start recording on PC. Check your Sound System Preferences on Mac. Pay attention where you are saving your video file at the end:)
If you are publishing on Youtube be aware of public setting by default. Go back and change it to private if you need. 

You still have time - run!
