Screencasting = fini!

Well, after posting my screencast, I though tI would just give you a brief rundown of how I made it before I moved on to my next topic. After downloading the free program "CamStudio" it was a fairly easy process; boot the program up, choose the area of the screen I wanted to record (I chose full screen), plug in a headset, hit record, and narrate what I was doing as I was doing it. Yeah, it was that easy. Completely pain-free and as simple as could be. Although the finished product wouldn't win me any awards, if I were to go further with some editing software and add title slides, captions, and even record over some of the narrative, I would have a pretty professional finished product. So now that you have an idea of both what a screencast is and how to make one, I am wrapping this topic up. If you have any further questions you can either contact me or refer to this website:

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving, You will hear from me after the holidays.
