This whole experience made us a little bit crazy. I think Teresa would agree with me when I say that our work on this project went anything but smoothly.
Our work with 4Shared seemed straightforward and simple enough until we started trying to figure out how best to do a brief demonstration of this particular tool's nuances. Also, it felt like we were really only scratching the surface of its capabilities and struggled to find an educational situation where this would be EASIER than other options that are available.
That said, the most difficult part of this process was definitely the video process. Screentoaster is a really neat tool, but it's almost pointless if you can't get the audio part of it to work - which we couldn't... despite the fact that we tried approximately 4 different computers! Ugh. This is a bug that the Screentoaster people really need to work out.
We explored several options for adding audio to our existing Screentoaster videos and finally settled on a very interesting format. We used Tokbox on Teresa's laptop to record Screentoaster running on another computer monitor and then talked through the demonstration!
The upshot of this whole experience was that through all the frustration and insanity we had a really good time and laughed (several times) until tears were popping out of our eyes.

Goodness --- That was VERY creative using Tokbox to record your video presentation on 4Shared.com. I am REALLY REALLY impressed. Very creative and effective.
