Following my last post I thought I would explain the process I take to get from a resource created in SMART Notebook to a Befuddlr puzzle. A series of screenshot would have taken longer to do so I have created a short screencast. In this tutorial I am using my IWB software, however you could do this with any photo from a camera or an image generated by other IWB software. Just ensure the image is online somewhere and not too big!

I was hoping to create a Jing screencast as I am big fan of the screen capture tool but the video output is horrible! It works with real time swf coding so you are stuck with the size you get – which for me did not fit in the browser when played back. So I went back to SMART Recorder and uploaded to Teachertube.
I hope that you find the tutorial useful – why not let me know of the examples you create and how you use Befuddlr.
- Flickr Uploader tool (As mentioned in the tutorial: giving you the command “Send to Flickr” on a right click of an image – very useful)
Thank for sharing.
Hi, really easy to follow video thanks! but I couldn’t get Befuddlr to work with my own pictures. 🙁
I’m sure I followed your instructions properly, ie.

but no joy!
Great blog btw! I’ve learned lots of cool things!
Great demonstration! I’m a little giddy with excitement about using your Befuddlr trick for befuddling my own online photos. I’m planning on taking an image created by my daughter on the “Building My Wild Self” site (suggested on the latest post from Betchablog) and befuddling it for some extra fun on the Smartboard.
My Google Reader is fraught with awesome blog posts today!
Cheers!

Thanks for the lesson. I will use this right away! I have been wondering how I could incorporate beffudlr into my classroom besides having it up during recess time. You have just solved the mystery. Thanks.
