Today's mission: new screencast
- topic: Why create an account?
- script:
| Spoken Text | Stage Directions |
|---|---|
| Welcome to AboutUs | Headshot of Ted speaking |
| I'm Ted on the left, and that's Mark on the right. He'll be clicking through the screen while I talk. The topic of today's screencast is Why create an account? | Big WHY |
| When you sign up for an account | Sign Up button |
| and log in, in the upper right-hand corner, you will | Login button |
| have your own personal page, which you get to by clicking your name, in that same corner. | hover over "personal page" link, then over the name |
| You can write a little about about yourself, or a lot. You can even do your work here. | Ray's personal page, scroll down |
| You also have a talk page which acts as an internal messaging system, where other logged-in people can leave you notes and have conversations. Your talk page is located under your name in the top-right corner | Ray's talk page, hovering over talkpage, then over "my talk" |
| When someone writes you a message, you are notified by the yellow account box. | yellow box notification |
| Another feature is the ability to watch pages for changes. To add a page, you click the watch link. | hover over watch eye |
| To see the list of changes to this list, click on "my watchlist". You can also get updates by email. | watch list itself |
| Another great benefit for logging in is that you can Upload images. It's put them on the left, or on the right. | Switch windows to page with images, scroll down |
| Norad Areal Estate. Hmmmm. That seems wrong. You can also use the move page tab to change the capitalization. It's easy. Pause | misnamed page that gets fixed |
| You can also set your preferences to include such options as: | on the NordaRealEstate.com page click on the preferences tab |
| How you sign your name | Kristina's signature, Vartan's, Ray's?, Mark's, Kasey |
| You can see your work by clicking my contributions. This is great for finding what pages I've recently worked on, because sometimes I forget the pagename. | show Mark's contributions |
| Logging in lets you build trust and respect through your identity and a history of good contributions. This helps in allowing everyone to AssumeGoodFaith. Feel how different it is to work with Cody and Vartan and Julia and Kasey and Diego than with LGONZ23 or Eternalwarrior. | view WhosOnline, and move mouse over the names |
| Logging in gives us not only some extra features, but also allows us to get to know each other. See you on the wiki. |
notes
- make the font size as big as possible in the browser
- make the mouse pointer as big as possible with universal access tools
- let's call the intro one done and move on to another one - the list of possibilities is below - as we make more, we can start to organize a VideoFAQ (Category:WikiAnatomy) as well as post them on the weblog as well as on the appropriate help page.
Second one
Flash sample from Vartan
Our first one, please comment
next steps
'questions and answers and learnings
- ShinyWhiteBox.com - program called iShowU - $20
- no editing - it's just one take - the first one took 15 takes, re-doing until feels like it's more or less right
- 45 min, start to finish, Julia and Mark, wrote script over lunch
- minute long, make 30 seconds long?
- we can post these on facebook or other places
- topic of the first one? "Welcome to AboutUs"
- let's publish the script with each one so anyone else can then modify the script, record their own version, and the community can decide which is the "official" version of any of these at any one time, but we could have a gallery of each topic videos - need to figure out how to organize this
- need to be not-logged in to AboutUs and also google
- record screen or window - you can set it
- you can set the start and stop hotkeys
- In the editing process if the thing that the mouse is point to could be highlighted somehow... red circle around it, kind of pulled off the screen and made bigger (hard to explain what I mean)... that would help. Like for the "ContactUs" link the "Useful Links" box could be closed, then opened and circle the link to "contact us." I think right before hitting the edit tab in this to highlight the many edit tabs would help people see them.
- All in all, I think it is awesome. The capabilities of a screen cast thing-y and audio go beyond what something like WikiAnatomy can offer for a beginner overview, walk you through it sort of thing... yay!

Break these ideas down, for a screencast action:
