Reflection on Camtasia

Reflection on Camtasia

Compare to our olden days, learning has changed a lot because of the advancement of the technology, where teachers’ can use different methods to teach student. One of the methods that we can teach students is by using Camtasia studio. Camtasia studio is two products in one, the screen recorder and video maker and editor. It is capable of creating powerful, interactive and professional videos that can be used for wide range of project such as making YouTube videos, educational videos and videos related to the topic that we are going to teach. I have found Camtasia the most appropriate and convenient while recording, editing the videos and it is also user friendly.

Before I was introduced to Camtasia, I heard people talking a lot about Camtasia but I didn’t use it as I didn’t have any idea about it. After learning and using Camtasia software, I had used it and I notice that it is much easier to use. It is also useful for making presentation interactive and fun learning. It allows and helps us to record PowerPoint presentations with special voice-over just pressing the record button of Camtasia. It also enhances better understanding for the audience and its make our work beautiful with different animation and simulation.

In Camtasia studio, we can record our voice by clicking the record button. We can import video or picture from our computer and edit it using the features of Camtasia. It is also easy for us to edit both the video and the audio. It is easy to arrange the videos, audios and images on an unlimited number of tracks. We can also edit anything with Camtasia studio, from editing visual effects to adding animation.  Moreover, Camtasia software can add interactivity functions to our videos.

There are different types of features in Camtasia studio which I have learned in this module ICT in teaching and learning are using transition in the video, inserting video, music where I can make video interesting. We can also insert images, inserting caption and recording screen with and without a webcam. As a future teacher, I can use this concept in the teaching and learning context as teaching-learning materials and I think it can help student understand better and make teaching and learning interesting. Moreover, the student can be motivated and become active an active learner.
