[ED-TECH] How students will access textbook lists from class schedule

Ed-Tech list members,

Sorry for so many e-mail about this. I realized I had not shown you the excellent work that Information Technology and the Follett bookstore have done to make the textbook lists available to students. I made a short video to show you how easy it will be for students to see the textbooks for various classes, once the data is submitted and entered by the bookstore. Please watch and listen to the video so you can be aware of this new capability. It is on the screencast.com<http://screencast.com> web site, at the following address.

This video was created in the time it took to watch it, using Jing, a free service of Techsmith. I use their Camtasia program to make complex videos with cuts, zooms, callouts, and other fancy effects. Jing lets you record and publish short videos of 5 minutes or less with no editing, callouts, zooms, or other effects. Camtasia costs $180 (education price) while Jing is free. Go to http://www.techsmith.com/jing/ for more information.
