Oh boy--is this one ever fun! I could always think of lessons I could use screencasting for, but never knew it was so easy to create one! Here is a quick screencast I created (complete with errors) to show members of my neighborhood Womens Club, many of whom are older and not very computer literate, how to access and register for our new website for which I am the webmaster. I used Screencastle for this and found it VERY simple to use; I did not need to download any software or special devices, as my computer has a built in microphone.
The one problem I did have is my initial recording was about 4 minutes long and took a very long time to upload; then IE shut down my browser and the upload didn't finish. I re-recorded a "shortened version" of about 2 minutes and did not have a problem.
I would like to see students be able to do this as perhaps an assessment item to show that they know how to perform steps in creating an Excel Spreadshhet!
