Its a digital recording of computer screen output, opten containing audio narration.

During a recent poll, I found very few  people were aware of  screencasting . Watch my online lecture on the subject to learn how to:

  • Express your ideas as a screencast on the web,
  • Embed them within documentation instead of screenshots mixed with tedious explanations, or
  • Use them as visual aids to enhance your next public lecture, as I have done here.
Introduction to Screencasting: Quicktime Video

During this 10 minute Quicktime video you will learn:

  • How to use screencasting as a fast and clear communication tool,
  • The value in working with your local Toastmasters club as a public lecture resource,
  • How to use the free and open source screencasting tool called Camstudio.

Lecture secrets: Two examples of Camstudio screencasting are included in this video. One example of a screencast captured using a video camera of an LCD monitor is used in this video.

This online lecture is a recording of my prepared speech presented to the Blue Cube Toastmasters club from the advanced manual Communicating on Television

For those who live near or travel to Sunnyvale, CA - you’re welcome to visit our Toastmasters club with regular meetings held at the Boomerang Cafe:

As an example, when I embedded the wpmathpub [pmath size=xx] tag into my blog post — like this:

Code (ada)
  1. [pmath size=16](a^2+b^2)=a^2+2*a*b+b^2[/pmath]
  2.  
  3. Where:
  4. [pmath size=12]~a[/pmath] is defined as a
  5. [pmath size=12]~b[/pmath] is defined as b

I get the following mathematical equation displayed in my blog post:

(a^2+b^2)=a^2+2*a*b+b^2

where:
~a is defined as a
~b is defined as b

 You can learn more from the plugin’s wiki-like documentation on wordpress.org site itself from here:
