Post 430: My Camtasia Journey

 My Camtasia Journey

I bought Camtasia a couple of weeks ago to make my lessons more interactive. Since then, I have learned how to create call outs, annotations, edit and cut video, embed a music track, and other effects. Learning Camtasia has been great fun. Here is an example of my video at this Parts of an Essay link.

It shows the students the parts of an essay. I have enjoyed creating interactive musical videos using Camtasia. This is the first time I have created a video with a music track. Also, I have never created a video with so many animations before.

 When I make more videos using Camtasia, I will definitely post them to this blog. Camtasia does keep my students from falling asleep by watching a long dull lecture. Adding music adds variety to the lesson and keeps them awake!

It is always fun to re-watch the video many times. It does take a lot of work to make a one minute or two minute video though, but it is a labor of love.
