- 11. What is ScreencastingDigital recording of the computer screen, with or without audio narrationSometimes called a video capture or video capturingVery useful for when you need to show a process, like:Using the library catalog or a databaseUsing a certain websiteUsing software, like WordDoing a certain process, like working through a math problem
- 12. Why screencasting for You?Showing a process rather than telling how to do it can sometimes be more helpful, particularly for students who learn better visually and not through lectureCan help with repetitiveness – instead of telling a process over and over, maybe a screencast can help?
- 13. Why screencasting for students?Can help students with these skills:Planning & researchSynthesize & evaluate the informationScript writing – introduction, body, conclusionDelivery of the presentation – how do they get the process across in clear, concise ways?How well does presentation stick to topicTechnical productionResponsible use of music and/or imagesIf part of a group assignment - teamwork

You should be in the 30s now or close to 30.Yes, some interactions in the Forums and/or replying to other blog posts counts, but if you have been doing a lot of that, you should still have at least 20 of your own blog posts.
