Seventh Reflection on use of Camtasia
Camtasia is a software use for creating video tutorial by screen recording/voice recording the PowerPoint presentation etc. It is one of the video editing software. Skills that I can showcase in camtasia was not my disposition but acquired through learning ICT module. That doesn’t mean that I have acquired all the skills to handle camtasia to perfection. But I am confident that I have learnt basic skills. These skills are simple yet effective in many ways and can be even applied in education system, particularly to create video tutorial on any of the topic from any subject.
Camtasia has got unique features as compared to window movie maker; camtasia can record the screen and ongoing things done on the desktop. Other constructive features that we can play with are multiple transition option, voice narration, zoom and pan effect, call out, title, captions. In addition to that we can enhance and improve the audio quality of our voice recording with the use of audio enhancement. We can even record audio or music at the same time.
As already mentioned, it plays as a powerful tool to create video tutorials for the students in a creative way. Even when we integrate simple tool like power point in our teaching, we can see curiosity among the students to learn a lesson. With the use of camtasia it will help to enhance the students’ learning and build their curiosity, hence it will motive them to learn. We must rely on such productive tools to improve our teaching strategy and if it means to enhance students’ creativity.
I assure that students will enjoy if the content is delivered through the use of camtasia. I urge all the educators and promise myself to get along with such tools to make teaching and learning fun. So lastly I will end up by saying it is worth to use camtasia in teaching and learning process.
