Tips on Using Screencast-o-matic

Screencasting General Tips

For the Mac use Safari as Chrome (or Firefox?] and Java dont work well together
Use the free version of Screeccast-o-matic http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/screen_recorder [you should already have your account set up from Day 1]
If you're having trouble using the app directly from the browser download it onto your computer and when you launch it, it will connect directly to the web
Try creating a screencast to present the examples that you found for your chapter [i.e. you could have your review and links here in this page ready to go, set up the screencast and then use this page to connect to the other pages. Alternatively you could do what I did in the video and have the different exemplar sites ready to go in other tabs and just click to each one]
When you are done your screencast capture upload to YouTube and select Private [as the pro version costs money] and then change the access to Unlisted from YouTube so that anyone who you give the link to can access.
Once your YouTube video has uploades, you can get the link or embed code to put into a blog, wiki or other environment.
