Tim Bower on Educational Screencasting

Tim has a nice long blog entry on Why I’m Excited About Educational Video. He posted a link in our Group, on his site he discusses:

Video Teaches!
Video Complements Other Instructional Material
The Technology Required to Successfully Use Video is Finally Here

As Tim points out, screencasts are a great way to pass on new skills:

“Because I teach computer programming, I have watched several videos on the ShowMeDo web site. I notice that when I watch a screencast video, I pick up on subtle issues that I was missing from the books.”

To improve your screencasting knowledge you must read The Screencasting Handbook. The author (Ian Ozsvald) also blogs.

Introduction May 13, 2011

Hello everyone, I purchased the Screencasting Handbook about three months ago, and am finally digging in. I was hoping for a more detailed section on workflow as there are so many ways to go about it.
