Well Scott, since you asked for it, a few weeks late, I did a hasty screencast this morning of poking through my Google Reader feeds, not as quickly as D’Arcy did with his use of Blogbridge. But I did pick up on Dr. Norman’s method, and got me a copy of iShowU which seems to […]
Not everyone can afford Camtasia and screencast like a pro. And it is PeeCee only. There are other ways to do simple presentations of how to do tasks on a computer. Someone named “djweinstein” has done some elegant tutorials on how to do things in Audacity, by posting them as a flickr set, which can […]
Shazam! Sit back and watch/listen to Brian Lamb’s first screen cast, “Beyond the Blog”, a whirlwind tour of weblogs, wikis, RSS, aggregators, flickr, social software, and more. Best quip, “Think of delicious as blogging without writing a weblog”. Awesome work, Brian, and your fans shall clamor for more.
Blogging (for me) is a stream of consciousness, not a definitive final answer, but something evolving. In my recent playing with screencasts I leaped to pitching it as another flavor of digital storytelling… but driving in today I was thinking it was a wrong leap… what Jon Udell has done so brilliantly with his screencasts […]
I should be working on other things, but I get a technology bug under my skin. After publishing my first screencast and getting some quick feedback, some of my own, I wanted to take myself to task and do something beyong screencasting as just tours of software.
Creating “How-tos” for using RSS, or a course management system, or some other technology is fine, but it is not all that interesting to me. What is more interesting is using technology to create stories, compelling things.
In this entry, I will share a quick digital story I created with simple tools, and in a short time frame (shorter if were not for my own boneheaded blunders). I deliberately created the basic slide show in PowerPoint, not because I love it, but because it is prevalent.
After posting about my first (sloppy) screencast, I emailed Jon Udell via his blog to ask about his tools. An impressive sidenote- he responded directly less than 2 hours after I sent, as compared to a feedback form on say a phone company or other mega corporate site staffed with hundreds where they reply with […]
So it was time to put my money where my snout was… After waffling about screencasting, I decided to give it a go. Downloading the Windows Media Encoder was not too bad. I played a bit, not really sure of the various settings for the encoding. Anyhow, I recorded an 11 minute quick attempt at […]
