ProfCast: Lecture Recording just got Easier!  
Sync your Slides and your Audio
with Donna Eyestone

If you normally lecture with PowerPoint or Keynote Slides--ProfCast is for you. Don't change what you're doing at all, just have ProfCast record your audio while you give your presentation. Finish your lecture and then walk out of the room with a ready-to-post movie, complete with an index your students will love. You can make an enhanced podcast or post it in your online course shell. In this half-day workshop, you'll get a free copy of ProfCast (for Mac or Windows) and see just how efficiently you can create your own media.  You'll learn tips to help you create great slides, microphone and audio recording tricks, and see examples of how teachers are using ProfCast in the classroom. Bring your own laptop with your PowerPoint or Keynote slides.
