PowerPoint from Screencasting Webinar
If you’re interested in the PowerPoint for my screencasting webinar, here it is below.

I always smile a little when people ask for the PowerPoint, because it just consists of pictures. I resist detailed bullets points on each slide because it locks you into a certain order that may be at odds with your presentation’s flow. Also, when you give people text to read while you’re speaking, you lose some of their attention.
I promise to record a podcast this week covering some of the same screencasting content, so stay tuned for this.
By the way, the more presentations I give, the more I find that Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule of PowerPoint really is true.
Also, someone asked for examples of screencasts I’ve done. Most of the screencasts I do are for work and are behind the firewall, unfortunately. But here are several of my screencasts (the first three in the list below) as well as screencasts from other sites.

I’m also finishing a bunch of screencasts for a public-facing project at work this week, so I’ll post those when they’re ready.
Hi Tom,
I’m a newbie at screencasting…I’ve downloaded the zip file – now, how do I launch the tutorial? Is there a particular file that launches the entire screencast tutorial?
Thanks!
Ev, there’s no tutorial — it’s just a powerpoint show with about dozen slides. People usually want the powerpoint after watching a webinar, so I thought I’d post it. The real content is in the presentation, not the slides, which is why I think having the slides without the content is a little silly. However, I’m going to record a podcast covering much of the same material sometime this week, so look for that.
Thanks for all of these great resources! You’ve got a real talent for screencasting. Have you seen any of the Mr. Excel videos? We’d love to hear more about your method at http://www.facebook.com/office
Cheers,

Thanks for the link to Guy Kawaski’s article. Also looking forward to your podcast. I teach online, and want to move into creating online presentations. My schedule didn’t allow me to attend your STC event.
Kicking off 2010′s mixed martial arts is the brilliant UFC 108. It’s bound going to be a great event with the main match being Evans vs Silva going head to head. You can watch santos vs yvel video for FREE in full HD without paying that grotty $55.95 PPV cost.
