Are you having a difficult time explaining how to install a certain program to your friends, just by describing what it should look like?
.
It's like teaching my parents how to write an email.... over the phone. This is why all of the Tech Support jobs are going overseas, is because they have more patience than us.
.
Why not show them exactly how you are doing it, right on your screen?
(No, we are not condoning this type of support with the School Techs....our job is to meet with you face to face.)
.
I've also added a page to my blog called LIVE Support:
http://blog.weber.k12.ut.us/jumcfarland/live-support/
I can be contacted via any method, and we can hop on right there and show you how to do something.

NOTE: These extra programs aren't really "supported" by the Tech Service Department, meaning it won't be a priority of ours to set this up for you. This is just a little fun accessory you can try out sometime. But this is not part of the "School Tech" duty.
.
This could be used by School Techs if there's just no better way. I actually had in mind the "Techie Teachers" in each school that wanted to show a procedure to their peers, without having the time to schedule the lab for a quick meeting.
.
Here's a 5 minute video showing you the FREE method of setting this up.

I want to be able to record a screen cast for later repeated palyback by my students. It just doesn't work to try to show each of 30 students how to do every step on a new computer program, so I want to make videos to give the basic instruction, and that (I hope) should fre me up to help with problems. I have a Hitachi Starboard, and the Starboard software allows fow screencasts, but it takes up so much computing power that the computer hangs, which causes the audio to skip and drag. Is there an easy way to make a screencast recording that the students can download from the blog (or play on the blog) and pause, rewind, replay, etc.? Please advise.
