Instructional+Media+Screencast

​ Screencast

Screencasting is a method of capturing computer images in a snapshot or video style presentation to create a product that can be viewed on the computer in the classroom or at home by students in your courses. This information is from Powerpoint presentations or other multimedia that the instructor adds his or her own information too so that the students are getting the information that the instructor needs them to receive for the classroom content. Jing is the application that was used to create my screencast. Jing is a free apllication that allows anyone to use up to 2GB of memory in a 5 minute window to create their own screencast. This is a great process for instructional purposes because it includes both visual and auditory learning.
 * Description**

The process to complete this assignment was to find a computer that had the ability to run MS Office and have a microphone. I had two seperate computers and could not match up what was needed for the assignment. Once I was able to get all computer applications neccesary to run what I wanted to screecast, I had to download Jing. I used a Powerpoint presentation of Wheels and Tires to give instruction for the screencast. Once I was completed with setting up my screencast, I saved the file to screencast.com and retrieved the link to add below. After capturing the link I placed it on the PBwiki website for other students to view.

This was an easy assignment to complete if you have all of the technologial tools to access the web applications you need to in order to create the type of screencast that you would like to create. Once I was able to get everything in line I was able to move at a rather rapid pace and complete the assignment in a short amount of time. I found that this was something that could be completed quickly but could also be very informative in its presentation. I plan on using this method of instruction im a few of my upcoming classes to see if it works as well as I think it will. If this is the case, I will be using this more and more often.
