This is my first experience screencasting. I have seen screencasts many times but I had not created one.
I used Screencast-o-matic
I created a screencast on using Bibme website to create citations. I found the experience both easy and frustrating. The Screencast-o-matic site is very user friendly but creating a screen cast was frustrating because of the many times I was forced to restart because I misspoke or the website did not load quickly etc.
When I shared my screencast with a coleague she was way more interested in Bibme than Screencast-o-matic and that is really the whole point, isn't it? She didn't notice the medium she was taken with the message. So all in all even though to my mind the screencast was a littel rough around the edges production wise it was effective.
I will use screencasting to create tutorials related to using databases and operating a the patron features of our circulation system here in the library. I will also share this with teachers and help them create screencasts for their students.
