I never thought I’d see a screencast in a screencast, but that is just what I got watching this fabulous presentation about using screencasts, podcasts, blogs, etc. in support of education.

This screencast is a must-see for anone who is new to this stuff, especially for teachers seeking new ways to reach students. I loved that the podcast of the quantum physics lecture was on the top 100 podcasts list. People are curious. One more thing: this screencast didn’t work for me in Firefox, so you may have to use something else.
This indeed a marvelous screencast for educators new to teaching & learning via technology. Thank you for posting it.
Thanks for letting me know about the Firefox issue – we’ll fix this shortly.
I’m interested in using screencasting for teaching in my library. Being new to this technology I am unable to get this “must see” to play. Do I need any special hardware/software? What little I’ve seen has me thinking of the endless possibilities for engaging students…………… Thanks for the help!
Could you please let me know what browser and OS you are using? On my PC using IE or Firefox I have no problems. Maybe try updating your Flash at http://www.macromedia.com
