Screencast of the Week - Learning from Mistakes

Posted on Monday August 13, 2007 by Betsy Weber

Another week, another late Screencast of the Week. My apologies. I was unfortunately delayed and stuck at the airport so I was unable to blog last night, but it gave me time to think.

So, along the flight theme, this week's Screencast of the Week is a Camtasia Studio recording of a Flight Simulator game.

Now what I really like about this is the idea of recording a live event in order to learn from it. You could play the game, crash the plane and not realize what you did to make the mistake. Or, you could play the game, record it, crash the plane, and watch the Camtasia recording and learn from your mistakes to improve your skills.

And, isn't that better? Practice, watch the screencast and learn from your mistakes...on the flight simulator...not on my flight. ;-)

Betsy, isn't that recording a recording of a replay and not actually a live event?

I liken the need to record live events kinda of like how a Tivo machine works, keep recording the last 30 minutes and that way when I need it the most all I have to do is replay the recording. Beyond that how often are we actually recording a live event when we want to?
