Educreations

This app has all the basic functions needed to make a screencast, but lacks the bells and whistles of similar paid apps. I would recommend it as a starting point to see if you like the idea of creating screencasts ~ The major drawback of this app is that the video you create is uploaded to the educreations website and you do not have a way to save it in your personal files. The site does allow you to choose privacy settings for the video.

Explain Everything

This app is the best reviewed screencast app available now ~ Tons of features (you can draw with pen, make shapes, insert typed text, use pointer tools etc.) ~ Audio for each slide is recorded individually ~ Many choices of uploading (to photo roll, YouTube, email, dropbox, evernote) and importing (dropbox, evernote, photos) ~ Best of all you get to save files to your device!
