Keep it simple…

I’m finding that its easier to create short videos when offering support to folks with tasks and questions they are having when using technology. I can create a short video clip using screen capture software (currently using Screencast-o-matic) and uploading the video to youtube.com where I’ve created a channel. Once the video clip is done I can simply send the link to the video in an email or direct them to the link online.

It doesn’t matter which tool you use to create your short video clips, simply find the one that works for you.

This simple solution works because it’s visual, it’s reusable and it’s shareable.

I don’t worry about the ummms and ahhhhs when recording, it’s more important to get the information out to people in a timely way.

So simple AND easy…

About Me and My Blog

I have worked a long time in post-secondary education and all of it has taken place at Sir Sandford Fleming College. My role for the past 12 years has primarily been part of course and program design teams to develop blended/online learning opportunities for full and part-time learners as a learning technology specialist (the postion has evolved over the years from web production technologist, elearning technologist to learning technology specialist).

I facilitate workshops, informal learning sessions, and answer any question that is directed my way :)

I am currently completing my Bachelor's of Adult Education at the University of Brock (one credit to complete).

I'm also a very proud mother and wife. My family are my barometer and the means by which I measure my balance.
