Week 6 Screencasting

I actually messed around with the software trial long enough to get a flavor of producing a screencast. It's pretty exciting. If my employer could get licenses for our computers there are a lot of opportunities for learning. Or I write a grant for it. Once we get students familiar with the ins and out I could split up a subject area for small groups and have them produce tutorials and share with each other. I will probably save some of the projects to show future students as examples and for teaching detailed steps. I know that teaching in the computer room can be very demanding. With a screencast available to students, they could play it over until they understand and i would answer the rest when I come get to them.
