| Screencasts: You've seen plenty of them. There are screencasts describing software tools, demonstrating how to build web pages, explaining how to fill out forms. | Screen captures of a few screencasts (not specific to Wikimedia) |
| In this screencast, I want to tell you why I think screencasting could be a transformative tool for Wikipedia outreach and education. |  |
| Screencasting is a new medium: there are numerous tools, with numerous strengths and weaknesses; and there are many different creative approaches | Screen shots of a few tools -- tricky to think how to do this while minimizing copyright/trademark concerns |
| Those unfamiliar with Wikipedia -- whether their interest is in reading or contributing -- have many questions. | Screen shots of Yahoo! Answers, Help talk pages |
| We have lots of text documentation… | Several policy pages |
| …but as the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words." | Chinese proverb image from 1927 ad (or see A picture is worth a thousand words) (how to establish this is copyright-free?) |
| How many words is a screencast worth? | 10,000? 1,000,000,000,000??! |
| WikiProject Screencast: join us. Help us make Wikipedia the online encyclopedia that anyone can truly edit! | ? |
