Reading Jon Udell's blog and discovered that today is the third anniversary of the term screencast! Here's a screencast to mark the date. He reflects on the genre and how people are using it and the significance of jing from Tech Smith, a screencasting application that makes it very easy for anyone to do a screencast. ve also used Jing to create screencasts on the fly, in demand technical support help to people, including my dad on using skype ).

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. If you travel through my flickrstream , you'll see that I'm addicted to screenshooting - taking stills of the screen.

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. But that's not always possible, in which case live screensharing or asynchronous screencasting is the next best thing to being there. To translate into nonprofit tech language - screencasting creates shoulder-to-shoulder training in a social networking way

I am so thrilled that Michele Martin has started screencasting because I'm sure I'll learn something. This tip caught my eye: Use fixed width to capture and auto pan Ideally, for most situations, when creating a screencast it is best to use a fixed region (640 wide by 480 high) and set the screen recording to autopan. Now, I'm curious to go back and make a screencast in Camtasia using auto pan and see what the difference might be.

NTEN and SalesForce.Com Foundation sponsored my latest screencast called "Leveraging New Audiences for Nonprofits" (using GoogleAdWords and SalesForce Integration). And, now for some reflections on the screencasting process. My Evil Plan Will Not Fail : As I mentioned at the NTC session on screencasting for nonprofits , the holy grail for me would be to aggregate and point to screencasts created by other nonprofit techies. I haven't seen many screencasts.

Aside from the usual mechanisms, I think blogs like Susie's Blog that focus on nonprofit adoption of open source software and screencasts can be useful tools. I was delighted to discover another nonprofit technology screencaster, one who is using Open Source tools to boot!

It was very liberating for me to create a screencast like this -- no storyboard, script, no retakes. 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.

So, I've decided to start a weekly post "Screencast of the Week" using the tag "scotw" This screencast comes from FoxyTunes.

These are my powerpoint slides from the Screencasting Session at NTC. My favorite quote about the session was from Jason Zannon at Democracy in Action: Beth Kanter delivers herself of a tour de force on screencasting. If more of us are screencasting, then all I have to do is remix other people's work, provided they've licensed their material using creative commons licensing. I've heard that there will be more screencasting or at least one as this blogger notes.

I'm working on a screencast (Google Analytics) and I'm not an expert in using the software. Do you stick to your comfort zone and only make screencasts on the topics that you know like the back of your hand or do you stretch and venture into a topic or software that is not only new territory but may be difficult to learn?
