Screencast Tutorial: System properties

A screencast video is a computer recording of your screen as you perform instructional tasks. Most commonly these types of videos can be found in instructional videos and video game walkthroughs. There are a variety of materials out there to assist you in making a screencast. Some examples are Screencast.com, Screencast-O matic, Jing, Capturer, and Screen Record Utility Lite. Screencast can be used for a variety instructional videos, including math app tutorials, Word tutorials, Programing tutorials, etc... The useful aspect of a screencast is that the user watching the video can see every step you take to achieve your goal and carefully watch your mouse move as you do so.

In my screencast I used Screencast-O matic, which is a free software online that allows you to record up to 15 minutes of video. In this video I explained how to locate your computers system properties, specifically focusing on the type of operating system and version, processor speed, RAM, and the total size of the hard-drive. My video is specifically designed for PC users running Windows 8 and may not be compatible with previous versions. All of this information may seem easy to locate, but having a proficient knowledge of where to find system properties is always a good idea.
