  • LEARNING ACTIVITY: SCREENCASTING
  • YOU WILL NEED TO USE JING – FREE TOOL, instead of SnagIt (if you read this module already and saw SnagIt). Jing is a TechSmith product, just like SnagIt is a TechSmith product, except SnagIt licenses cost. For this project, you are going to create a SCREENCAST video about your website – about 4 – 5 minutes in length. It cannot go over 5 minutes using free Jing software. The screencast video could be an overall presentation of your site, explaining to viewers how to navigate the different pages. OR, the screencast video could be a “how to” video for completing a specific piece of your site. You decide.
    1. View Screencasting Explained video.

    2. Read through the Screencasting Scoring Guide

    3.    View the screencast How to create a screencast video (6:11) to learn how to download and install Jing on your computer, how to create a screencast video, and how to upload the finished product to Screencast.com.
      • [You may also complete this module in the EdTechLab in Payne 213. They have Jing installed on their computers.]
      • [You may use a different software that you already have installed on your computer, or another option listed below. In this case, you will need to upload your video to YouTube.]
      • How to upload a video to YouTube will show you a detailed demonstration.
    4. Create your screencast video. [The EdTech Lab in Payne 213 has headphones you may borrow, if you need them to create your screencast.]
    5. Embed video on your website.   View the screencast How to embed screencasts/screenshots into your Weebly portfolio (3:48) to learn how to add your screencast to your Website.

      • Disregard references to screenshot. You are not required to produce a screenshot.

    6. Submit your finished screencast video project (URL) into the Blackboard assignment below AND provide the URL where your screencast is embeded to a page on your website. Screencast: How to add to Weebly.

    Other options for screencast software.  screenomatic.com, screenr.com and if you are using a MAC the software is already on your computer 🙂

    • DO NOT UPLOAD A VIDEO FILE.  If you use another software than Jing, upload to YouTube.
  • Overview: You may experience (or already have experienced) a time when a friend, family member, coworker, etc asks you how to do something on the computer. Often times there is an easy solution. However, other times may require that you give the person step-by-step directions on how to do the task. Instead of writing them out, a visual representation might be more appropriate and is often more effective.
