Powerpoint Presentation on Blogging

Web 2.0 Presentation (Invitation)
The idea is a non-digital-native son trying to help his non-digital-native mom start blogging in her classroom. This link takes you to the Powerpoint (converted to html) which is curretnly located on my St Thomas server. Within it are links to 4 videos pertaining to the presentation. I used Jing to record these videos. I wonder about other capturing tools. I've used Camtasia and Snapz Pro but it's been a while. I like that Jing allows you to store them at their site (actually, screencast.com), freeing up space elsewhere. But I'm having a hard time doing other things with it, like embedding and saving to file on my computer. Actually, it has saved the file on my hard drive a couple of times, and not others; and when it does, so far I haven't been able to look at it. Real Player automatically opens, and in small version like it's going to play an audio file. I spent a good chunk of time going to Real Player and installing a new super powered player. Can't get it to work. And it is supposed to be the mac OSX kind (I can't wait for these issues to disappear from the landscape- or at least fossilize.)
