Pbwiki tutorials

For some time now I've been meaning to teach myself how to make a screen cast.
Due to my current situation (displaced lumbar disk) I have found myself with time to spare. So to kill 2 birds with one stone I thought I'd put together a series of short tutorials to help our Connecting Classroom partners access and use the wiki I have started to publicise and share our partnership's activities.

Had a few problems to resolve first though:

• I wanted to use Jing because the image quality seems to be excellent, but it kept cutting out after 2 mins, and I found out there is a 200mb limit which isn't all that large.
• Ended up using iShowU which is mac specific and although image quality isn't what I would really like it serves its purpose...(I've now sussed how to improve the picture quality so the video below is a new version)

I also finally got to use mousepose which is a funky presentation tool for macs.
I then imported the film to garageband and added some background music.

Then uploaded to blip.tv and copied the embed code.

Easy peasy really...once you know how.
