As a blogger some of my most viewed posts are ones with screen-captures demonstrating cool applications or software. I can show and explain the process the students need to perform simply, with no confusion.
Camtasia allows me to make great how-to videos and simply save them locally or send them to Youtube to be published to the world or my class. Snagit is as simple to use as Jing but with some great added features, like drop shadows and transparency to name a couple.Īs a blogger and an online teacher, I find Camtasia Studio to be a wonderful tool. I have found Snagit to have that professional polish for taking screen-shots to add to my presentations. I find myself also using Jing more and more for twitter to help answer questions or to ask my own questions.Īs a Google Certified Teacher and a Google Certified Trainer I have had the opportunity to be a Lead Learner (presenter) for professional development sessions for educators from around the world. With a few clicks I can quickly take a screen-shot or a screen-capture, save and upload it, and have a URL to email or post for students or teachers to view. If I need to easily show someone where the submit button is on the screen or how to reserve a room using Google Calendar, Jing is the software I open. In my experience, their software is simple to use with outstanding results.Īs a teacher and Technology Coordinator for the Le Grand High School District, I use Jing to quickly take screen-shots and screen-captures to help my students and staff. I have used Camtasia for the last two years at school and Jing for at least that long. It made me reflect on their outstanding products and how I use them in my different roles in Education.Īs an Educator, I find myself consistently using software from TechSmith. In my last post “ How to become a Google Apps EDU Certified Trainer” I mentioned using Camtasia, a TechSmith product.
