Screencasting

After screencasting a few things I don’t really have any best practices, but maybe just a few notes:

--A three-minute screencast takes at least an hour. The technology isn’t difficult, you’ll just find yourself doing it over and over...

--In Jing, the little yellow glob at the top of your screen is annoying. Under “More” there’s a quit button, which’ll make it go away. This may be simple, but it took me awhile.

--A good screencast should be wall to wall with good information. Be sure to use the pause button when recording!

--Make notes of what you want to say, and definitely rehearse. See first comment.
