Trying Ning’s Media Player embed of a Screencast-o-Matic tutorial

I’m falling more and more in love with Ning. When you embed videos posted on a public Ning, the Ning Media Player links back to your Ning (unfortunately, the Ning I set up for the “Year of Global Cooling” project is private, so I can’t embed anything from it–feel free to join if you think you can bring students in). So I want to see how it looks. I uploaded a tutorial I made on Screencast-o-matic that introduces Mac OS X to our students. “System Preferences,” specifically. It’s for an Apple Schools Asia Ning I’ve started. And notice the nifty logo you can personalize your Ning media player with.

Update: Wow, Ning, I’m impressed! And a tip to other Ning users thinking about using Screencast-o-matic on Ning: Ning doesn’t allow iframes embeds, so you have to download the SOM file, which is converted to .mov format, and then upload that .mov file to the Ning video page. Be careful about the 100mb file-size limit on Ning. Go over 10 minutes at 800 X 600, and you’re probably too big.
