Thing #8 - Screencasts

This thing takes a little practice but it will be a powerful teaching tool. As they say, a "picture is worth a thousand words" and screencasting can show a learner step-by-step exactly what to do. It could be used by librarains and teachers to create tutorials for students, or it could be an assignment for a student to create their own "how-to" project to demonstrate their understanding of a concept. The screencast I made below attempts to demonstrate how to create a magazine cover using BigHugeLab's application. I couldn't get the mike to work on my home computer, so it's a "silent" movie.
