Screen Capture Software for the Mac
Posted July 2nd, 2008 by Alan LevineCan anyone suggest a Mac screen capture utility for creating presentations. Captivate and Camtasia are PC only and I was wondering what people were using on the Mac side.

I have used Snapz Pro and Screenflow. For simple things I would say that Snapz works better, but Screenflow has a built in editor which can save a lot of time if you have to edit your presentation video.
Apple Supports Student Video Contest on Freedom
Posted June 17th, 2008 by phoffman
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is teaming up with Apple, to provide college students across the United States with the opportunity to share how they define freedom. Teams of college students can create and submit a short video (3 minutes or less) expressing the qualities, importance, and impact of freedom in their lives, today.
Through their submissions, students will connect with people around the world to share their ideas about Freedom and become facilitators in a very important, global dialogue concerning some of society’s most critical issues. Creating Freedom Awareness—at a time when we need it most—is, perhaps, the 21st Century’s greatest challenge.

Radford University Mac Users Wiki
The RU Mac Users Wiki went online spring 2006, and was developed by the Radford University Technology in Learning Center as a community resource for Mac users on campus. It was built using the MediaWiki engine (i.e., Wikipedia) by TLC Assistant Director Charley Cosmato, and in the time since content has grown exponentially as a result of member contributions.
Even though this wiki is designed with our campus community in mind, anyone can join, use and contribute to it. Users can find help on topics including OS X apps, iLife, Final Cut Pro, Mac maintenance and iPods by either browsing 'Useful Docs' or searching by topic.
The RU Mac Users Wiki is accessible at:
