Well here is the tutorial I am very proud of...not because of content ...not because of creativity...but I am proud to say I finished this CamStudio project period.
I have to say that the good Lord above held my hand through that project because I could not have kept my sanity with out that loving light on my side! (Thank you again for helping me through that rough week!)
I worked on that project for days and really just got so frustrated I wanted to pull all of my hair out. I have to admit I was using the television to pacify my child.
So terrible...I know...but I had no choice as I could not figure it out during my twilight rendezvous with my computer. So, I warped my child's brain for a good week.
I have to say I am tempted to email the creators of Camstudio and ask them why they have such a complicated application. Perhaps, it is not complicated for some people but, it was for me. I am very proud that I push through the assignment and got it done! (Even after I annoyed our dear Professor with my emails of file corrections)
On the other hand I super...duper...duper...heart...with cherries and whip cream Camtasia. What a marvelous tool to use for presentations and teaching. I am incorporating it into my web resume. I think I am going to create a video "interview" with a presentation and embed it in my website for future employers to see. I hope the idea goes over well! I like having the tools and flexibility that we have gained in this class. I also like the fact that we are pushed out of our comfort zone to accomplish projects. Pure joy!!! I love this class...Big hugs to you and the world!
Looks really good Trac! I feel your pain with CamStudio! And share your love for Camtasia! What I wish now is that I could have the time to really get to know one of the programs we have learned - looking back, I feel I am forgetting what we did at the beginning of this class. Like I try to tell my students, it is not the number of pages (programs in our case) but the quality and content! Good for you for finishing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jamie... I know what you are talking about ... I want to play with the different Podcasting tools and create an uplifting channel!
ReplyDeleteI also have to say I am pretty tired of the whole recording thing... but it is one of those things you need to know!
ReplyDeleteThat is ironic that both of you say that you just wish that you had time to really figure out just one of those programs. I just told someone yesterday that my head is spinning from all that we have done in such a short time. I played my Podcast for Personal Finance today and had to stop and think about how I created it. Personally, I'd take Jing over CamStudio or Camstasia either one.
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job Trac! We are all glad to be done with CamStudio. At least we have a good story to tell our students and colleagues about the pains of learning a new program,
ReplyDeleteWell, good news is that there's no more recording... at least for an assignment :) Another good news is that you'll get to go down memory lane for finals :P Great tutorials!! Your CamStudio turned out really nice looking!
