really like Screenr. If you haven’t tried it out yet, you should
give it a whirl. Here’s what I like best:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 48pt; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><SPAN

</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><![endif]><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Screenr
is super easy to use and there’s nothing to download. You just click the
record button on the website and you’re recording your screen activity and
your narration. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 48pt; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><SPAN

</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><![endif]><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The
image quality is pretty darn good. You can even watch the
screencasts back at HD-quality and they look great. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 48pt; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><SPAN

</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><![endif]><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Screenr
gives you multiple ways to use your screencasts. 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.

style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">My
favorite…there’s no branding on the downloaded MP4 files. Since you
can download the videos, you’re free to use them as you wish. That
means you can use it in your elearning courses without looking like one of
those MLS soccer players. <A href="http://www.soundersfc.com/"

of course, Screenr is free. Free is always good.

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">With
that said, let me share some ideas on how you can use Screenr with your
rapid elearning courses.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<H3 style="LINE-HEIGHT: 140%"><SPAN

<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

I mentioned earlier, one of my favorite things about Screenr is that I can

no reason to hog all of this goodness for yourself. Have your

way to reinforce their learning and assess their level of understanding.

works with Twitter and Youtube. And as I stated earlier, the embed

or wikis.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

I first heard about playing back screencasts on the iPhone, I was a bit
skeptical about what it would look like. But I’ll 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 what’s going
on, but that wasn’t the case. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
