A Quick Intro to ScreenCasting
Posted by Steve Garwood under Cool Tools, Online Learning, ScreencastingI love to ScreenCast…for both teaching and training, screencasting has become one of my best tools. Below is a quick example of a simple screencast…a little PowerPoint, a little Camtasia, and boom…a teachable moment…to post wherever I need it.
The above is a screencast of a PowerPoint presentation, I opened PowerPoint and used Camtasia 4 to record the screen as I spoke. After recording I produced the video as several diferent types of files, the one above is a .wmv. From there I uploaded the video to blip.tv and took the code that site generated and pasted into WordPress…that’s it.
A nice tutorial on how to do this is located on the freevlog site…very easy to follow screencasts for PC and Mac.
