Well, I think we all are in agreement that Camtasia is much easier to use than CamStudio. It has been quite a struggle to complete both of these assignments, and I still don't feel that I have mastered either program. It has been a valuable learning experience to work with these tools. At least now I know that I will need a program with lots of easy-to-find, accurate tutorials to get me through the learning process.
I can't see these programs as something that I would teach my students, or many other teachers for that manner. However, since I do have the free trial of Camtasia, my plan is to create a few more videos on some common classroom tools. It is not something that I would purchase because I don't think I would use it enough to justify the price.
The Wallwisher video is the one that I wanted to do in CamStudio. I need to make a better video, still trying to figure out a few things!
I have always loved post it notes... now they are even better because they will not fall off my computer when I put them on it! Cheers! Great job Mrs. B!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a valuable learning experience....I have learned that I love Jing! Ha ha! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, we definitely agree! lol Great job!
ReplyDeleteGood job Kim. And I like the site, I'm going to go check it out!! I love making lists and checking off when I complete something, my video was on Evernote, so Wallwisher would be a more visual fun way to keep me organized.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love real post-it notes. I have them around me at work despite having e-calendars. They're just fun. The online version looks interesting too and great video!!
ReplyDeleteOh, if you ever want to get into training knowing how to create video tuts are very important. Or, helping teachers add audio to Powerpoint which Camtasia does very well. A faculty member in Stanford I think post his lectures online -- voice over with Camtasia and screencaptures too -- and students love this.
