Project update 2

Some bad news: seems like there will be no presentation at i-fest - we were to late and they say their schedule is full :( Shame they cannot make room - I will be sure to contact them early next year (yes, I do plan to carry this after this term).

But on the bright side, there is a possibility of having a presentation for SIS dept - hopefully I will be hearing more from them soon. Any advice on whom to contact about other presenations would be great.

A technical issue: I think that a PowerPoint presentation may not be the best way to tell people about Wiki - I feel that a demonstration with a large computer screen (like the one we have in class) would be much more useful. I.e. instead of talking and showing slides, it may be better to demonstrate with mouse where are the tools/pages we will be talking about. What do you think about such an approach? Is there any software that may be helpful during such presentations (for example, enlarging mouse pointer may be useful)?

A back-up PP presentation in case of Wiki downtime may be useful. But again, an alternative may be a 'screencast software' - does anybody have any experience with that and could recommend the best soft I can download and play with?
