I decided to use MacOS's QuickTime Player. All of our teacher devices are MacBook Airs, so I thought it'd be useful to make a screencast on how to use the built-in option for screen recording. It was tricky figuring out how to demonstrate making a screencast while recording, so I used another MacBook through Remote Desktop. 

The major benefit of using QuickTime is that it's free on Macs and available without an Internet connection or website subscription/registration. It's pretty bare-bones though, so if you want to spice up the recording with edits or transitions, exporting to iMovie is your best bet. The frustrating "feature" is how the program first opens - it's not the most user-friendly. Apple could definitely improve the launch user interface!
