Camtasia Basics

As you learned so far, Camtasia is a powerful teaching tool that can help you supplement your classroom instruction with out–of–class screencasts to enhance your students’ learning of key subjects and it really is as easy to use as two clicks of your mouse. In this week’s first Camtasia in Action video, you will learn how to create a screencast from a PowerPoint presentation and then render the screencast for viewing on the Web. A second screencast will show you how to render your creations so your students can interact with and watch them on their iPods.

Again, the first video will show you how easy it is to create a screencast from a PowerPoint presentation and then render your video creation for viewing on the Web.

In the previous video screencast, we covered the basics of the Camtasia toolbar that displays when you open PowerPoint. This video screencast will continue your Camtasia learning adventure as you learn more about using Camtasia to create screencasts from your PowerPoint presentations. During this Camtasia tutorial, you will learn how to render a screencast for an iPod and then learn how to put a screencast on an iPod using iTunes.
