Free Screencasting

Taking screenshots and screen casting has been hot topic lately, and it should be.  What a wonderful tool to give instruction.  I've only been here for a couple of weeks and I have already used it multiple times.

So, how do you screen cast?  There are actually several free ways to do it:

Geetha found this article that highlights 12 different free screenshot/screen casting websites.  One of them called Jing.  You can download it for free by clicking here.  And if you click on Support on their page, you will find a bunch of video tutorials that will show you how it works.

Once you record the video, you should upload it to a video uploading site like YouTube.com or Vimeo.com.  This way you don't need to take up space on wherever you are posting it.  Click here to see a list of free video upload sites.  Once you have uploaded the video, copy and paste the Embed HTML code wherever you want the movie. 

Here is a video of how to embed a YouTube movie onto Blogger. 


Embedding video is similar with other video sites.  If you can't figure it out, give me a call.

If you have a Mac, screen casting is very easy, open up Quicktime, Go to File > New Screen Recording.
