Today I watched a tutorial in which Dani described how to use Zotero to reference your researcher resource. This tutorial gave a good overview of this screencasting technology and how it can be used to reference an article type resource. This gave me my first insight to screencasting, how it works and what it can produce. It also reinforced what I was required to produce for Task 2.
Zotero and Mendley are both web based technologies and therefore I thought I would explore this option before trying out one that required downloading. I was quite interested in using Zotero as I liked the way in which in takes a screenshot of your resource. Unfortunately as Dani had mention at the beginning of this tutorial, although Zotero is also a free online technology, Zotero requires Firefox as your web browser. I already have Safari, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome on my Mac and did not want the inconvenience of downloading yet another web browser so decided against this option.
I continued searching, exploring the links and reading over the material provided on the Technology Toolbox for Educators and decided that I would trial Jing.
