Creating lessons on Become the Media is tricky. It’s difficult to explain some of the concepts that I’d like to share. Topics such as configuring DNS settings, configuring link shorteners, setting up virtual instances, explaining the benefits of a river of news, sharing the wonders of the Radio2 minimal blogging tool and its significance need visuals to make the idea stick.
In an effort to better share these concepts, I ponied up for ScreenSteps, an application that makes it easy to create screenshot based lessons. After downloading ScreenSteps, I was off and running. I created two lessons last night and the results are impressive.
I signed up for their free service, ScreenSteps.me and hosted my lessons there. But then I moved them to my own server. ScreenSteps.me may be worthwhile for your needs. Definitely check it out for easy hosting of your documents.
Sure, I could have used my favorite screen capture apps and cobbled together the results but ScreenSteps removes all the footwork. I encourage you to check out my post on Become the Media which shows off the power of ScreenSteps. You might even learn a thing or two about link shrinking with CloudFlare and Adjix.
