While pursing my M. Ed in Instructional Technology I did a staff
development unit on screencasting and Jing. A screencast is a screen capture of
the actions on a user’s computer screen over a period of time typically with
accompanying audio. I focused on using Jing, which is a free screen capturing
software that can be used to capture images or recordings from your computer
screen. There is also a pro version available for purchase.
In order to present the information and have it available online, I
used Weebly to create a website. Weebly allows people to start a site, blog or
online store that works great across computers, phones and tablets. They offer
a range of pricing options including a free plan and premium plans starting at
$4/month. Weebly has everything you need to plan, build, publish and grow a
site that meets your goals.
Here is the PowerPoint I created titled Introduction to Screencasting:

Check out this Weebly I created for more information on screencasting and using Jing. It can be viewed by visiting http://vanthony.weebly.com/. Here is a screen capture of the site.
Everything looks great! I've never heard of Weebly before and now I'm tempted to try it out. Screen casting is becoming much more common in presentations and is useful skill to learn both academically and professionally.
