Microsoft Community Clips

Microsoft have designed a program which allows the user to search for tutorials or either create them, it allows the user to create a tutorial using a recorder which will record the mouses every move.
However if an app pops up during your recording you may have to start again it also allows you to tag as well, its also recommend to make your tutorial short.

Microsoft Community Clips will be great to use for our assignment, as it will be specific and show directions and procedure on how to create a iGoogle which can be used for organisation reasons.
I feels its better than having a flowchart with pictures or a manual.
Its shows the viewer directly how to access and create/add gadgets with getting confused and is a straight forward method.

Team Contract

Project Propsal

Katrina and I have decide to pair up for our new project where we need find a solution to a real world problem/need.
Thus we have thought about solving organising issues for someone who is frequently on the computer.
The programme we will use to do this is iGoogle and gadgets it has to offer some of which would be:
  • Clock
  • Birthday reminder
  • File share
  • Calculator
We would like to create a instruction manual through screenshots using the snip tool and perhaps a video tutorial on how to create and add gadgets on iGoogle.

We have specifically chosen gadgets to suit business men and women and students in high school too make their life easier by having everything on one accessible yet private web page. iGoogle however does use the internet so to create this we will need acsess to the internet.
