Screencasting social software

By Meredith Farkas | October 16, 2005

Brian Lamb, one of my favorite Ed-Tech people and wiki-evangelists, has created a terrific screencast about blogs and their use in education (note: it’s a big file and you must have Quicktime to watch it). He also has a companion wiki which is shown in the screencast. Watching the screencast made me think about how I could use screencasting to explain these ideas to the folks I work with in the library and the online grad program. Brian eventually plans to create other screencasts on social software as well, and I, for one, am eagerly awaiting them.
