Thing 19 - Screen Capture Tools & Thing 20 - Making and Sharing Podcasts and Videos

Top 5 tips for using a screen capture tool:

 I really enjoyed reading Tatum's tips on this topic!

1) Storyboard
2)  create the script before using the screencapture tool. This would cut out the necessity to record / edit / re-record.
3) Make sure you are in a quiet room, cut off from the rest of the world! It's the worst to get background noise and creating a distracting experience!
4) Beware: To our shock and surprise interfaces do change! (sarastic note :)) I may disagree a bit to Tracey's recommendation to 'describe' where you are clicking as this was the very problem why we had to change one of the LiL videos and re-do them. The interface changed, so 'click on the top right hand side' was completely useless as one of the databases had switched their search to the left after an upgrade!
5) Always attach the transcript to your screen-capture


 In terms of podcasting and videosharing, I have never listened to podcasts, but have watched a lot of videos via youtube and TedTalks.
I was exploring the theme of 'digital literacy' and really liked the sense of humour of the following TED Talk on:
"What my 71-year-old mother-in-law taught me about technology - Jen Lee Reeves"

Nearly coming towards the end of the 23 Research things, I think we should embark on the "23 Digital Literacy Things" and "23 Research Data Things"!
