I found it difficult to hear the voice recording that I made with Jing. So I rerecorded the program again holding the microphone nearer to try and get a better sound capture. I hope that it is clearer, to me it still sounds very low and quiet even though I have turned all the volume controls up but I have previously had problem with playback sound on my computer.
I am attaching the second screencast link below:

Screencasting & Evaluating Websites
As I continue to explore the web and all of the possiblities, I looked forward to creating my screencast this week exploring a website and evaluating it for validity.
I examined a site Britain for Americans that was clearly not a valid site as the flags were mislabled and the information clearly showed bias. I was not able to locate an author or any reliable source to validate the information. The website has been rarely searched for over the past 10 years, among other factors. Yet, the site illustrates the need to educate students about the critical elements of evaluating websites, while not as blatenly incorrect as some cited in the text, students who stumbled across the website could quickly receive a wrong impression and false information.
