Video Tutorial

They say a picture is worth a thousand words ... and a video is worth ten thousand. If you are so inclined, you can create a video demonstrating how you project is done, then embed it in your knol. Simply upload your video to YouTube, then embed it in your knol.

If you don't want to make a video, consider making a slideshow. Just create a series of images and descriptions of the steps using either Picassa Web Album or a Google Docs Presentation. Then embed it as a slideshow in your knol.

You can embed a number of different objects -- tables, calendars, forms, etc. -- in knols, so make sure to take advantage of all the different media to communicate effectively.
