Scanning, scanning, over the ocean blue

It's 1:23 on the Last Day of Work Before Break. I just got TextHelp! to send me a demo disk so I can play at home, too. (No, I'm not a workaholic. I'll make sure what I do at home benefits the Resource Room side of things, too.)
I was thinking of including the videos in the lessons and putting together 15 hours of "stuff," loosely speaking, that could be turned into a pilot for credit.
Welp, the "study skills" video tour isn't going to be one of them. Auto Summary is not something I would want to be seen encouraging, given that the goal is to get students reading *more* closely and deeply. *I* know that sometimes you need a summary in order to dig more deeply... but I don't trust the auto summary, anyway, and a *huge* issue with our students is getting them to *really* summarize, not try to pick out some words and change enough of them to synonyms and call it a summary. (Yes, parents, you should encourage your kiddos to retell stories and put things that have happened into language.)
(My other issue with that video is that it painstakingly tells you that there are four colors for highlighting... Pink... Blue... Yellow... ???.... as if these terms were new and complex. Now, gathering said highlations - those more novel terms get no such consideration.)
It's camtasia time, I reckon :) Perhaps I can get 30 days of *that* on the home front, too. Yesseree Bob!
