Screen is a 'tty multiplexor'. Or in english, it allows you to run multiple programs on unix and easily jump between them. Screen can be thought of as a 'text mode' "alt tab" like what exists in windows to cycle thru running programs.

The big advantage of screen, is that you can detach the screen sessions, and logout while the programs continue to run. You can also re-attach your screen session, like you have never left. This can be vital if you have a connection that is prone to dropping, and you need to do something that cannot be interrupted.
