ScreencastOmatic+for+tutorials

Have you tried using a 'content-FANTASTIC' website that was user-UNFRIENDLY with your students and wanted to tear your hair out with all the silly questions on how to navigate the site? If so, try: http://screencast-o-matic.com/

This FREE site is a way of "video-taping" YOURSELF navigating this great (but tricky) site. Simply hit "Start Recording, and a dotted-line screen will pop up. You can click/Drag this to fit the desired space, then hit the red-circle record button. Navigate your desired site as you normally would, and a QuickTime movie of your exploits will be available for download when you finish. For added effect, you can install a microphone for accompanying audio and (if desired) a webcam to record your "Talking head" to appear next to the video. I prefer to 'pre-cook' these and upload them to my class website to assign as homework Enjoy! Contributor: Stephen Lovejoy Dighton-Rehoboth RHS, MA
