[DG: Teaching & Learning] Basic screen casts on how to use Sakai

[Nate Angell]

In addition to the great collections cropping up here Sean, you might
consider shepherding working sessions at the Sakai conference in
Denver. Learning how to create effective screencasts would be a great
way to involve folks in the working session who do not consider
themselves developers, etc. Plus, I've already added it to the agenda
for you ;)
http://wiki.sakaiproject.org/display/CONF2010/Sakai+Working+Session+Start

http://openedpractices.org is already set up to become a repository of
resources like this if it makes sense to collect them there as
"resources" and point to the collection from the SP.org site.
