I've been contemplating creating YouTube videos like the Khan Academy ones, but for a niche area. The aim is to help students understand the subject, so I don't need a camera. But I do need some form of a touch device where I can write, draw graphs, show text, etc. and just record that. And there will be no monetization.

Anyone have any recommendations for such a setup?

This is what I use - An inswan document camera is $99. itube studio is $20. Connect the inswan to your laptop. Now you can use regular paper pencil to write, draw graphs, show text, pictures etc. Use PhotoBooth to make a video, which is an mov. Then use itube studio to convert it to "Youtube" mp4, which has the right codec etc, & then upload to youtube.
Thanks! I was hoping to use my iPad to do the drawing, etc. as my drawing skills are non-existent. Is there a way to "screencast" an iPad screen and convert that into a video?
