Screen Castle is a simple screencast creation tool that I learned about on Webware. To use Screen Castle simply visit their website, click the start button and you're recording. You can have the option to use enable voice recording for your screencasts. I did not utilize voice recording in my sample screencast.
Screencasts made using Screen Castle can be viewed on the Screen Castle website (see my example here) or embedded into another website or blog as I've done below.
Applications for Education
Screen Castle is good for quickly creating video directions for using a website or desktop application. Creating screencasts is a good way to create a record of the instructions that you may have to frequently give to students or colleagues. For example, in the past I have created screencasts for my students about adding pages to wikis.

My few questions would be how long can you record and can you decide what part of your screen is being recorded. I love this option with Jing, that I get choose how much of my screen I want to show. I use this to hide tabs when creating screen casts and my windows bar at the bottom. No need to confuse my teachers with a clock down there, and it be wrong. or get them trying to figure out how many tabs I have opened and what they all say.
The downside of Jing is the 5min time limit. I just break the lessons or instructions into different parts, which does help
