I actually liked using screencast for this assignment. It did feel weird tho some times, and there were a few moments where I forgot that I was even recording. It makes me realize how much work the Youtube famous people do with applications like this and with editing. It really takes a lot of time and hard work. Talking and hearing myself will always be weird, but I think that I am starting to get a little used to the feeling. I personally don’t see myself using this immediately, but possibly some time in the future. I think this skill can come in handy almost anywhere within the working field. If you need to show someone how to accomplish a task, but are physically unavailable to do it, you could take a screencast to show and explain the task. The availability of this skill, I believe, will really valued by those who work in the virtual workplace and do not experience that much physical contact with clients and employees.
Currently right now as I am typing, I cannot think of any creative projects that might benefit from this application, but I am sure as we progress along with this blog, these posts, and various applications, many ideas will come to thought.
Here is my screencast for you to watch if you are feeling up to it.
