As a teacher of new digital age, being able to demonstrate and model effective a variety of digital tools is highly important. A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen, which usually serves as a tutorial for a variety of operations. It is especially useful to explain lessons to students, provide specific instruction step-by-step on how to complete a task on the computer. There are many programs we can employ to create screencasts, such as "Jing", "Screenr", "Capturer", and "Screen Record Tool Lite". For the video in this post, I used Screencast-O-Matic application which was downloaded through Screencast.com.
In this screencast video, I demonstrate on how to locate some basic information on a mac laptop. The information includes, type of operating system and its version, processor speed, RAM (random access memory), the hard drive capacity, total size of the hard drive on your computer and how much free space you have remaining. I hope you can learn how to find this information from this short video.

About Me
Hello everyone,
I'm from China and my Chinese name is Feng Xie, but for convenience I always go by my English name Maple (because my given name's literal translation is maple). I just turned 22 this past Friday and I'm working on my teacher certificate and master's of C&I in NNU. I graduated this June,majored in English language. Growing up in a port city adjacent to Hong Kong and Macau, I have always been influenced and passionate about the western culture and the English language.
This is my second time in the states. I was exchange student in Central Connecticut State University for my junior year. Some people say I have New England accent and they call me "Connecticut Yankee". I enjoy travelling and so far I've hopped around the states quite a bit from the east coast to the west coast. I live around campus in Nampa. I am not very much of an outdoor person, I enjoy watching movies, visiting museums and art galleries in my spare time. I also start to pick up cooking recently.

Teaching has been my dream career since I was a child.I worked as a teacher assistant for an Australian teacher to teach Chinese children. Currently I am doing field experience in Sherman Elementary School with first graders. I've been enjoying my time with them and I hope I can be a good teacher for children after I get my degree and teacher certificate.
