Most people just use to watch videos, but did you know it can also make videos?The program comes free on Mac computers, and I just tested out its screen recording capabilities. Easy peasy and exports excellent quality video! Complete instructions are under “Record Your Screen.” To record a Powerpoint presentation for instance • In Quicktime Player, click File>New Screen Recording.

• Click the down-arrow to the right of the record button, and choose the microphone you’re using to record. • Open your Powerpoint presentation on fullscreen/slide show mode. • In Powerpoint, deliver your presentation as normal, flipping slides as necessary. • When finished delivering, switch back to Quicktime Player to stop the recording.

Your PowerPoint will display a mostly black screen when it starts to record. If you scripted your narration and pasted the script into the notes area, the script will.

• In Quicktime Player, click Edit > Trim to cut off the very beginning and end few seconds of your video where you were setting up or mousing up to stop the recording. • In Quicktime, click File > Export To to create a video (mov or m4v) to share on YouTube, load onto your tablet, or wherever you want. Here’s an extra step for you overachievers out there: download and install a free program called. Open your mov or m4v file in MPEG Streamclip, and export it as an mp4.

This will shave a little off the file size, and convert your video into a file type that’s even more universally excepted everywhere (mp4). Come to the Prior Hall or Denney Hall where Quicktime is installed and staff are available to help. Bring a USB drive or set up your free account so you have somewhere to save your video.

Wikispaces was founded in 2005 and has since been used by educators, companies and individuals across the globe. Unfortunately, the time has come where we have had to make the difficult business decision to end the Wikispaces service. We first announced the site closure in January 2018, through a site-wide banner that appeared to all logged-in users and needed to be clicked on to dismiss During the closure period a range of banners were shown to users, including a countdown banner in the final month. Additionally, the home page of Wikispaces.com became a blog, detailing the reasons for the closure.

Private Label Site Administrators were contacted separately regarding the closure Wikispaces Tier Closedown Date Classroom and Free Wikis end of service 31st July 2018 Plus and Super Wikis end of service 30th September 2018 Private Label Wikis end of service 31st January 2019. Why has Wikispaces closed? Approximately 18 months ago, we completed a technical review of the infrastructure and software we used to serve Wikispaces users. As part of the review, it became apparent that the required investment to bring the infrastructure and code in line with modern standards was very substantial. We explored all possible options for keeping Wikispaces running but had to conclude that it was no longer viable to continue to run the service in the long term. So, sadly, we had to close the site - but we have been touched by the messages from users all over the world who began creating wikis with it and now running them on new platforms.
