Camtasia studio


Camtasia Studio is a software program that is used for creating a video tutorial to make our lesson effective. Camtasia Studio allows us to capture or record computer screen. It makes learning more real and dynamic compared to the traditional education system. Using a video is a new way to learning and it can grab the attention of the student, unlike normal classroom teaching. In Camtasia, we can add images, sounds, text, animations, video clips, voice narration, and edit videos. We can also capture live videos. When information is presented in the form of the video there are audio, animation, graphics, and texts. Students can perceive information easily and learn more. It will be helpful for the student who missed the class as video can be saved for reference.

My experience of using Camtasia in making video lessons was an innovative task that I never thought I will be doing on my own. I was completely blank when I heard that I have to make a video lesson using Camtasia. However, I developed confidence while going through the video tutorial that my tutor has provided.  These videos assisted me to record the video.  Preparing a video lesson was one of the wonderful experiences that I got so far. I have enjoyed it as well as I learned a lot. To make the video tutorial, I explored many things in Camtasia studio. I learned how to record live video. I edited my video by adding animations, background music, and deleting unwanted videos. I can also erase background sounds to make the audio more pleasant. After all, performing all this task I could come up with a video tutorial. 
When I make a live video on my lesson I could get a clear picture of how my teaching is and also my language. I could see that I have a lot of things to remember and improved before delivering to the student. Using Camtasia studio is more effective as I can create and edit recording video as per the students’ needs. If some information is missed I can instantly add, delete unnecessary information, add colorful images and videos. This enhances the quality of the lesson and it can be used record for future references. I am glad that I could make an adverse impact if I know how to make a video lesson. As a future teacher, I will be able to make a video tutorial for my students and engage the student. 
Camtasia Studio can be used to incorporate e-learning in our country where learners can avail services online which is outside the classroom. E- Learning has become popular in technology advancement. As a future educator, we need to be prepared and incorporate technology in learning. The integration of technology in teaching and learning can enhance students’ knowledge, motivate students, make the student independent, and boost their learning. Presenting information through video lessons will be more convincing to students since ideas are explained explicitly using an image, animation, and graphics which appears like the real one. Sometimes, it is quite exciting to learn from the video since the students rather than listening to lectures. We can deliver our lesson more accurately through videos than real classroom teaching. So Camtasia studio can change teaching and learn in many ways.
