New Idealware Article: An Introduction to Screencasting

We have another great feature article this month, from the incomparable Beth Kanter. As many of you likely know, Beth has been doing a number of screencasts of late – for instance, on Tagging and on Widgets. These screencasts show video of her screen, along with her voice, as a way to demonstrate complex computer tasks or processes. She’s been learning a lot, and as Beth is prone to do, she’s written an article to share those learnings with the rest of us.

Her article, An Introduction to Screencasting, covers a lot of ground: the many purposes with which screencasts can help, how to go about planning and “filming” your screencast, posting and distributing it, and the software that can help in all of it.
