For online students, even discussions are in text, as are most communications with the instructor.
Imagine, then, how it feels to enter an online course and find a video of a moving, talking, smiling human being welcoming students to the class. I have found using Camtasia to be a truly transformative experience—for me and for my students. | | | | | | | | | Helping Students Find Identity Through Student Created Video Identity is an issue that children wrestle with throughout their entire academic lives. They're grasping at finding what kind of person they are, what values are important to them and who they want to become.
For many kids, whether they realize it or not, they start recording their identities as soon as they get a smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device. | | | | | | | | Transform your PowerPoint into a PowerCast using Camtasia Driven by significant advances in digital technologies, today videos are much easier to access - whether it be by the Web or mobile devices. Because video is so ubiquitous, it is an invaluable educational tool.
Video is revolutionizing the way we teach and learn and is a powerful medium used extensively today in both eLearning and mLearning. | | | | | |
