6. Wonderful experience of learning how to use Camtasia

Every time when our assignment deals with the video editing, I could literally feel my frowning face. It happens because I have no knowledge on Video edition. I crave to learn about how to edit video since first year as its must in the college. Finally my wish came true. I was really fascinated and encouraged when we were practically shown how inserts video, sounds and even slices the parts that we don’t need.

The most exciting and effective features that I found useful in daily teaching and learning is screen recording. Through screen recording, we can make engaging and enriching tutorials. Every time teaching verbally and lecture method is monotonous. Sometimes we can teach them through tutorials where we could see lots of visuals and even audios.

Though it was little complicated at the beginning, but I enjoyed the journey. I had a most difficult time slicing the video. I could not select the correct portion to slice. But with my passion for learning, I have successfully learned to slice the video correctly.

Tutorials can be beneficial those students who are visual learners. If you’re someone who learns better when you can see what you’re trying to accomplish lay out in front of you, then video tutorials are definitely for you. For pretty much anything you want to learn to do, you can find a tutorial online that will give you an audio-visual experience to help you through every step of the process.

Another advantage of using tutorial is the ability to skip unnecessary parts and watch important portions multiple times. We can make tutorials using camtasia and provide to students. They can watch they portion which they think is important and skip. They don’t have to watch whatever is in tutorial.

As a trial, I have made one tutorial for making invitation card. Though it was not as good as I thought but it was acceptable for beginner. But my second tutorial which I created for my second assignment gave me tough time. I easily prepared presentations but when it comes to voice recording I had some problems. Whenever I made a small mistake in recoding, I started from the beginning. Later when I shared with one of my friends, she suggested me to start from where I have made mistake and at last use the idea of joining the videos and then slicing the videos where I have made mistake in recording.
