She turns on Camtasia and begins talking her way through the solution to the problem. "I'm just capturing my screen and my voice," she said. The recordings, which she edits and posts to a school-hosted site, a Camtasia-hosted site, as well as to iTunes, run between 10 and 30 minutes long. So far she's made 32 of them, covering six chapters in the book.

    This content could be really helpful for a workshop on digital photography. Especially if we're going to be doing any instruction for students using digital cameras and PhotoStory. Going over the "Rule of 3s" and white balance are really powerful before the students start collecting digital images.
