Two years ago, I got little obsessed with screencasting hoping that more nonprofits would use the tools for training materials or maybe even fundraising. The good folks at TechSmith have given me a free license for Snagit (screencapture tool) and Camtasia (the screencasting editing and capture suite) to give away to a nonprofit.

It was very liberating for me to create a screencast like this -- no storyboard, script, no retakes. I'd love for it to have some javascript so you could embed it into a blog post. I'm working on a screencast and it might be excellent way to do research or share implicit geek shoudlder-to-shoulder knowledge across the Internet.

John Udell articulates a reason why screencasting is really cool: In my talk I suggested that this kind of unconscious transmission of tacit knowledge may be a key rationale for the practice of pair programming. To translate into nonprofit tech language - screencasting creates shoulder-to-shoulder training in a social networking way.
