: Bought Wacom Intuos4 for teaching through online videos It came with Photoshop 10 Express, Autocad SketchBook Express and Corel Painter Sketch Pad. They all seem like great tools for creating/modifying

This article tells what Khan Academy uses for their screencast presentations:


Initially, Sal used Screen Video Recorder + MS Paint.
Now, he uses Camtasia Studio + Smooth Draw.


Despite what the article implies, he most likely used a Bamboo or similar tablet for all of the videos.

But I would still recommend using something that is more like a slideshow/presentation format. Sketchbook would work well since:


It supports all the basic drawing/whiteboard-type functions with very natural-looking brushes and pencils, markers, etc.
It supports layers, so you can easily group doodles/sketches and edit/remove them individually.
It has a ruler/compass tool and grid lines that can help you draw charts and graphs.
You can navigate across different documents in a manner similar to a slide deck.
It's got a very simple/light-weight/intuitive interface.
