SCREENSHOTS & SCREENCASTING

 

This is a screenshot, or a snapshot of a website (http://www.velociraptors.info/) that I was viewing. I was able to add the border and the captions with the software we'll be using in this session: 

 

 

This is a screencast, or a real-time video recording of the site that I was viewing, which I narrated using by mic/headset:

 SCREEN CAPTURE

Take a snapshot of the content on your computer screen, like this shot of the SnagIt 9 controls:

 

 

SNAGIT - For SnagIt version 9 tutorials, click here.

NOTE: SnagIt has been PC only, but now there is a beta version available for the Mac. Mac users can also try Skitch -- it requires a download, but it's free!

 

SCREENCASTING

Take a video that follows what you are doing on your computer,

while you narrate using your mic/headset.

    SCREENCAST-O-MATIC

  • Make a screencast with screencast-o-matic -- click here for a video demo, straight from the screencast-o-matic site.
  • Things you should know about screencast-o-matic:
    • 15 minute time limit on a video (Jing's limit is 5 minutes). 
    • Saves screencast as .mov file
    • You can export your .mov file (so that you could store it on your own computer) even without an account, BUT . . .  the file is very large.
  • Note: the procedure to embed a screencast-o-matic video is similar to those used for Jing videos.  As long as you have the video embed code, you can use the instructions above, or click here for a reference sheet.
