I use it in conjunction with a tablet PC to create video lectures that students watch before they come to class. I no longer lecture in class. We do what would have been done as homework in class. Additionally, we do graded board work and other in-class activities. (I teach math and statistics.)</p> I use Camtasia and Adobe Captivate.

I have a little experience with iShowU ($30 for the regular version, $60 for the “pro” version ) on Jason’s recommendation, and I’ve found it to be pretty good.

I have no experience with Snapz Pro ($70), though I’ve heard good things about it.
