Cool Tool Review #3
Hello again,
This week I chose Camtasia. Which, if you go to their website, says that it is a screen recording and video editing software. You can download it and start working with a free 30 day trial if you wish to own it it'll cost you a whopping $169.00 for a single user license for educators. That's a little pricey for me so I think I'll enjoy using it until the trial runs out.
Camtasia, as it says allows you to record what you do on your computer screen then edit into a video format with several different effects, sound clips, animations, clip art, and much more. It comes stocked with several basic medias and allows you to import your own to use. It is a little complex but offers several tutorial videos that help to make it simple.
In a classroom setting I can see it being very useful for blended learning sessions, homework assignments, and even lesson plans for when the teacher needs a substitute. Teachers can go through a homework assignment prior to assigning it and work through the problems on their computer using voice narration and other tools to help guide the students. Then the teacher can upload the video of them doing it to some platform like YouTube, Brightspace, or wherever the student can access it and use it as an aide for the homework. Likewise, substitute teachers can use it to help keep the students on track when the teacher is absent.
