My final vision project: \u00a0To create a screencast instructional video showing some introductory features of Follett’s\u00a0<\/em>Destiny Quest <\/em>online library catalogue\u00a0for students\/parents of my school. My long range plan is to make several of these videos over the next year, and post them on my school library website. Each screencast video would cover different aspects of the catalogue, helping families at home become more connected to what our library has to offer.<\/p>\n

\"sounds<\/a><\/p>\n

To create the video: \u00a0I am using\u00a0Screencast-O-Matic<\/em>. This tool was recommended to me by Aaron, for creating screen capture videos. In my last blog post, I showed a short clip of my first time using it, and it seemed pretty intuitive. It required the least amount of updates and downloads, which is HUGE for me. Why? Well, because I don’t do much of that on a regular basis, and sometimes in the midst of 10-15 step procedures, I get lost. Kinda like when you are making supper and need an ingredient from the deep freeze. On the way you notice that the dryer has stopped, so you fold the towels, do a quick sweep of the laundry room, and then head back into the kitchen. Of course, as soon as you get back to the kitchen, you realize something is amiss.<\/p>\n

\"so<\/a><\/p>\n

So far, so good, right? Truthfully, in many aspects of technology, I feel like I have emigrated to a country where I don’t understand the language the citizens are speaking or whom to ask for assistance. In reality, I probably understand more than I give myself credit for, but it sure doesn’t feel that way when I am at work, watching the 30-somethings navigate and integrate Web 2.0 effortlessly in their classrooms.<\/p>\n

They’re all: “Troubles? No troubles here.”<\/p>\n

I’m all: “I can’t remember. I must have wrote it down somewhere.”<\/p>\n
