<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I really like Screenr. If you havent tried it out yet, you should give it a whirl. Heres what I like best:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

It works with Twitter and the screencasts play as Flash on the web. You can also upload the screencasts to YouTube. And you can even download the videos as MP4 files. They also look nice on the iPhone. All these options give you a number of ways to reach your learners. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

theres no branding on the downloaded MP4 files. Since you can download the videos, youre free to use them as you wish.

<H3 style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">1. Add Screenr Videos to Your Blogs, Wikis, and Slides<o:p></o:p></SPAN></H3>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Screenr gives you an embed code. That means you can create a video and easily add it to your blog, wiki, or website (or any other place that takes HTML). If you use the Articulate products, you can the web object feature to add videos to your slides.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Here are a couple of tutorials on <A href="http://screenr.com/Vrs" target=_blank><B><SPAN style="COLOR: #4092b5; TEXT-DECORATION: none">how to embed the Screenr videos in Moodle</SPAN></B></A> and <A href="http://screenr.com/wWs" target=_blank><B><SPAN style="COLOR: #4092b5; TEXT-DECORATION: none">how to embed them in Blackboard</SPAN></B></A>.

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Theres no reason to hog all of this goodness for yourself.

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Screenr works with Twitter and Youtube. And as I stated earlier, the embed code means your learners could make videos and put them on their own blogs or wikis.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">When I first heard about playing back screencasts on the iPhone, I was a bit skeptical about what it would look like. But Ill have to tell you that I was pretty impressed with the image quality considering the size of the screen. I thought that it would be too hard to see whats going on, but that wasnt the case. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Of course, you can also download the MP4 video and then upload it to your device manually. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
