Like many educators and learners, I have fallen in love with Kahn academy and Salman Kahn's visually-aided approach to teaching. If you don't know what I'm talking about please go to khanacademy.org or even do some Google searches about the site. Khan has even spoken at a TEDx conference.
Salman uses a screencasting tool to animate his words to potential earners. This revolutionizes what we know as distance learning. Edudemic has a recent blog post about 10 screencasting apps that may be used in (and more importantly outside of) your classroom. Have you ever wanted to pause your teacher's lecture, and even rewind certain parts? The technology is out there, we just have to start using it. Many of these apps are free and will work on multiple OS platforms (iOS, android, windows...)
Put down that dusty chalk and start recording educational screencasts that last virtually forever, and are so shareable that you can instantly provide educational opportunities for people all over the world.
