Screencasting! April 5, 2009
Posted by leewin in Uncategorized.trackback
What is Screencasting? Well screencasting is capturing what you do on your computer to show to others so that you can visually explain how to do some thing or how it would benefit them. Instead of creating a step by step instruction booklet, you can simply show them in a short video, narrated by you on how to do something. Its an incredibly neat tool and I am going to try and compile some of the things I have learned to share with others in my school and division.
I have just been experimenting with some screencasting tools. The one I have been playing around with is Jing from TechSmith.com. If you want to try Jing you can find it at Jing. I made one this evening(click the link below to view):
Tell me what you think! You only have five minutes of recording time so you must be sure to use your time wisely. I tend to ramble so I had to go and redo it a few times.
Other sites and apps you can try:
- SnagIt- a capturing tool also by Techsmith
- Camtasia Studio- Techsmith’s high end capturing tool (very cool but pricey!)
- Screentoaster.com- Lots of features!
Well, I hope this works out and let me know what you think. I’ll be working on other screencasts for the future.
Cheers,
Lee
