ICT in 21st Century Education: Reflection on Video Tutorial (Camtasia ) as an informative tool

Using camtasia for video lesson

Camtasia is the best all-in-one screen recorder and video editor. We can record your screen, add video effects, transitions and more. It can be used in making educational presentations and YouTube videos. As a major assignment we were asked to construct a video tutorial using camtasia.

Our ICT tutor has assigned each topic for individual. For me, I made a video tutorial for class 4 Social studies on topic" A sketch of market area". Firstly I read the topic thoroughly and worked on lesson plan. Then I worked on preparing Power point presentation and kept ready to make video.

Then,I try to download camtasia 6 from the link given in VLE but unfortunately my Laptop didn't support that software. Then, I asked other section for help and i downloaded camtasia 8 from their vle where there was a like shared by their tutor. I tried to record but i failed. It was not an easy job to create video using camtasia. So, I have watched many videos from the YouTube as well as video which was uploaded in the vle. In order explore and to have enough knowledge i asked help from our classmates. I tried many times recording, importing, editing and finally i could able to do that.

This video tutorial will serve as an informative tool for the learners because students can watch this video and get better understanding on how to sketch a market area. Lerner's tend to learn better when the lesson is in the form of text, sounds, an pictures. So, In my video tutorial I have used some animation, graphics, sounds and images. This video was uploaded in face book as face book is also one of the informative tool.
