ICT integration on Camtasia

 Write up on content based materials

Introduction

Camtasia studio is a software suite, created and published by TechSmith, for creating video tutorials and presentations directly via screencast or via a direct recording plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint. Audio or other multimedia recordings may be recorded at the same time or added separately from another sources.  The main intention of using this camtasia in my blog is mainly to produce their own learning video, through this video we can produce interactive learning videos that can be published and assessed by students through e-learning.

How should I use the materials?

I have prepared a lesson on the topic ‘Skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s’ from the grade 1 mathematics. The main reason that I opted to teach this topic through camtasia is that it helps in organizations of any size create professional training, marketing, and sales videos for both internal and external audience. I prepared this video tutorials with the aimed that students will be able to skip count up to 30 by 2s, 5s and 10s using two different methods. I want to use these video tutorials in the lesson introduction and lesson development.

In the introductory part, I would highlight the definition of camtasia studio with its purpose and usefulness in our day to day life. And then, I will also show examples of different methods that we are going to use in the later part like number line and counters. In the lesson development, firstly I will take them through skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s using two different methods step by step pointing curser in every line with animation. 

 

Creation of the materials

Instructions for creating content based materials;

In the first place, as per the instruction given by the module tutor, I have decided to choose camtasia as main ICT tool to design the materials for teaching and learning. Before preparing the presentation, I mentally planned the presentation that how to go about it and how can I make my students fully engage to the lesson. Then, I have prepared a PowerPoint presentation on the topic that I got for teaching using camtasia. I have also design number line in my presentation using different shapes and grouped it mainly for easy to animate later. Having done with the creating of PowerPoint presentation I read and practice the slides for screen recording. After that, I have recorded and edited the video then finally; I have saved it as produce and share in which it automatically converted the screen record into video tutorial.
