Thing 18

A hectic few weeks at work followed by a well- deserved holiday (not far from where they make lovely Herefordshire cider)   has meant that I have fallen behind in doing the "Things". 

So I am determined to try and complete at least two this week, starting with Thing 18, which is all about screen capture and podcasting...

Jing

I really like the idea of screen capture tools and at work we already use a similar screen capture product from Adobe called Captivate to produce short video tutorials for the students as part of our induction package. I've had a play around with Jing but have not produced anything worth sharing and am not sure if I can justify using it at the moment. 

 

Audacity for Prodcasting

I've used Audacity in the past for converting / editing music files but have never gone down the podcasting route. I'm not sure that it is really me and since there is currently no requirement to produce podcasts in my workplace I don't feel that it would be worth spending time investigating this "Thing" further.
