My mother still has no clue how to work anything Apple related. I’m not sure why, to me it is very intuitive. None the less, I’ve gotten many a call from her trying to figure out iTunes. Here is my tutorial for her on how to make a “Smart Playlist” within iTunes:
I used Screenr to record the video. It is very simple to use, just watch out for the issue wiht clicking “done” (It will hide in the toolbar area).
I watched two examples to make sure I knew how to explain things. One was a tutorial on how to download Skype. She was very consise in explaining what to do. It was cute on how she said “mom” instead of you. I should have done that, too. Another one was how to Google! I thought this was cute because its true: mothers don’t know how to google anything. Both were very cute and informative on how to explain things to someone who has no clue.
I’m not sure what else I need to describe for this assignment!
This was worth 5 stars so I now have [10/16] stars.
This is a good tutorial and you show that you learned how to use screen recording software.
Like you said, this would become much more interested if you actually made your Mom the audience; more than addressing her, why is Mom making smartlists? what would be in Mom’s smartlist? What kind of things happen to here/for her because of this ability–
To make this a story, it needs something more to grab us or to relate to a person, than a straight up tutorial (its fine for this assignment, but it does not play enough with the form to be a story).
Ahh, yes one more thing. What would really make is shine is maybe a recording or testimonial from Mom about how better her life is with smart playlists!
