For this activity, I used Quick Screen Share, which my coworker, Tia, tipped me off to. Being part of Capital Region BOCES' School Library System's Automation team, I frequently provide technical support to our users and help to answer questions they have about using our library catalog.
I like Quick Screen Share because you don't need to download any software, it is quick, easy, free, and enables either sharer or share-ee to control the screen being shared. You just need the person's email address in order to share.
I did not try any of the podcasting sites because I don't currently have a microphone on this computer, but I can foresee using Quick Screen Share often in the future. Just today I had a librarian who was having trouble figuring out how to get a report run that we had built for her. Using Quick Screen Share, I can show her exactly how things look on my screen, showing her where to click and walking her through the steps of running the report. If she had further difficulties, she could then share her screen with me, showing me where exactly her problem was, and it would be easier to resolve.
*I realized I sort of jumped ahead during Thing 7 into an activity for Thing 8, so consider this a combining of the two :)
