Tap it again and you are back to the control mode. Touch the pen at the top left of the bottom screen to make screen annotations-drawing mode. Toggling between the drawing and control screens require a tap on the pen tool. An optional feature of the pointer is that it can be rotated to one of four diagonal positions or quadrants. If you press any point on the top screen with one finger, you can use the other finger to change the color of the arrow or change the pointer to a hand. A nice feature is the ability to change the pointer, its orientation, or the color of the pointer for better visibility. In the ‘control mode,’ the bottom screen serves as a place to control a remote computer while the top screen allows for a highlighted pointer to draw attention to a section of the projected content. There are two screens on Doceri which does double duty.

However, what makes paying the $30.00 license fee palatable is the fact that I can transfer the license from computer to computer when I go to different classrooms-something I wish more app developers allowed! I also like the fact that there is no subscription fee for using Doceri, which is a biggie for me! Why would I want to have to pay additional or ongoing fees for a product? Some software titles have made this switch and I really hope that apps do not begin to make this a requirement in order to perform an upgrade.

I like free stuff but understand that the app developers need to be compensated for their work. Images projected from the controlled computer also shows a watermark which can be removed by purchasing a desktop license for your computer. For $4.99 you can get rid of the watermark made on iPad recordings. The app is robust! Establishing a connection to the desktop or notebook computer is a cinch and the app nicely priced-free! There is, however, one catch: a watermark is present on recordings or projected images. It’s a great way to create tutorials to be used either as prompts for out-of-class discussions or to provide clarifications after class.
The created screencast can be saved as a high-quality video or in low or medium resolution, if desired, and then e-mailed or shared on YouTube, Facebook, or to your Camera Roll. Simply tap the record button to begin a recorded session, pause, restart, or stop your recording.
Screencasting is gaining popularity among educators and Doceri makes these screen recordings a breeze. This app can save you the expense associated with costly classroom whiteboards and the controls in the app are easy to navigate. The thing I liked the most about using Doceri is the ease with which recorded audio and screen annotations can be made and the ability to send/post the finished product to a LMS or similar system for students to access. The Doceri interactive whiteboard and screencast recorder app, like the Splashtop app I reviewed earlier, is useful to anyone wishing to remotely control a projected image from a connected computer, make screen annotations on what is displayed (you can make the annotations on a displayed image or a whiteboard), and send your creation for others to see. A really great app for remote control of a computer, screen annotations on an image/whiteboard, or dynamic recordings-voice and annotations.
