Screencasting 101

Here are the two most important things I've learned about screencasting this semester:

• Rehearse your screencast prior to recording. A few dry runs will help you to find any snags such as dead links, changed pages, etc. and will make you more comfortable with the topic and the idea of speaking aloud into "thin air."
• KEEP GOING even if you make a mistake. If you stop and start all over every time you say "um" or make some other minor mistake, you'll never get through it.
