(Tip - Video Quality of 50% is good enough for most purposes and will keep file size lower).

As a teacher, one of the ways you can make resources is to use recordmydesktop to create a video file by combining your voice narration with a set of slides or pictures or a video (or a combination of these) on your screen. You can simply play a slideshow of your slide presentations or images in your folder, or a video, recording these through recordmydeskop and providing the audio with your explanation / lecture. This can be used to create lessons for reinforcing learning or for students who have missed a class, to catch up.
