Editing Screencast with iMovie

While chunking content helps both the learner when viewing online content, it also reduces the burden on the creator of the content.  

What can you do if you make mistakes in the middle of an otherwise wonderful screencast?

Here is where editing comes into play.  In Mike's intro to Week 2 of the Digital Multimedia Project, he took two videos and put them together using iMovie with minimal editing work.  The same can be done with your screencasts.
