More education. Less schooliness.

Firefox set-up screencast for students, using Screencast-o-matic

I’m making some screencast tutorials on Screencast-o-matic.com to walk our high school students through the set-up process for their new MacBooks when our school begins it’s first year as a 1:1 Apple Laptop school (*grins*).

It’s originally 800 X 600, but one cool feature of Screencast-o-matic is that it allows embed codes for smaller sizes. So here’s a 500 X 420px version. Let’s see how fast it loads, how well it looks and sounds. [Update: It loads pretty slow here in Korea. So maybe viewing it on my Channel will give faster results. It looks nice and sharp, though!] It’s 10 minutes, it makes me sound like I have a lisp, and there are a couple of bonehead moments in it. That’s either a warning or an enticement, depending on your mood.

SOM has some bugs, I’m noticing, but the service is young, and I’m sure they’ll iron them out. It’s already quite useful. If you want to use this and more tutorials for student MacBook bling, my SOM channel is here. I’ll be building it up over the summer.
