I used the same laptop to share content via the Tandberg unit that I used to broadcast via Ustream. Camtwist allows for Mac screensharing. I have more info about some of the same software/hardware I used for this on the post, <a href="http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2010/01/20/week-2-lecturecasting-with-ustream-blip-tv-and-mpegstreamclip/" rel="nofollow">"Week 2 Lecturecasting with Ustream, Blip.tv and MPEGstreamclip."</a> That's a post about lecturecasting, but most of the Ustream info in the post applies here as well.

I am amazed as I work with teachers at how many either can't or are not willing to look for built in help screens, or search on the internet as I do when I get stuck and the existing help isn't enough. For some, I know they still have that fear in their minds that they will "break" the computer. Of course, many of our "digital natives" aren't really good at that either, so its not just an age thing. Great line from good ol' Leo! I really miss him and the rest of the old Tech TV gang.

It seems that within the world of education it is okay to be afraid of the technology. It is okay not to put effort into technology--it's not your fault--we'll find someone to teach you. It's okay to go at your own pace, etc. Of course, there are plenty of educators who have embraced the tech--but they are few and far between. Unfortunately, the most common response when teaching someone new tech skills is: "I can't do that." Educators wonder why the "tech" people look at them incredulously when the same question is asked for the 20th time. However you define a beginner, you will stay a beginner unless you continue to practice and learn. I will end up by paraphrasing Leo LaPorte--a computer (tech) is like a piano; you can't expect to walk up to a piano and start playing Beethoven--it takes time and practice.
