Today I wanted to share some videos on the topic of screencasting with Powerpoint and Jing. We often get asked, "How can I narrate over my PowerPoints and save them as a movie to share with students?" One easy way is to record them with Jing. In an effort to make accomplishing this task easier, I've created the following videos.
These videos show two different ways to setup an existing PowerPoint so that you can then easily record it with Jing. Below are a summary of two different methods with video instructions. These assume you are familiar with Jing.
On a bigger note, I am kicking around ideas for an "instructional media support center" which would make tasks like this one easier for faculty to accomplish and could also support student assignments involving screencasting and other instructional media. What are your thoughts-would this be beneficial? What kinds of tutorials would you like to see in such a center?
Thanks for reading - Keep Calm and Barry On!
