Constructive tool- Camtesia




The uses of technology in education system create effective teaching for teachers and enhance students' learning. Camtesia is a fantastic tool that can be used to record content of any length. It helps to create short informative videos or longer lectures as needed. Camtesia also allows to make quick edits, ensuring the best video quality for students. before I joined the college, I have no idea about how to use camtesia studio. However in first year, we used it during documentary film in module 'Child Development' with the help of few friends. During that time we recorded video and used camtesia for edition. Nevertheless, in this semester we used it to make video tutorial.

We were assigned with ten minutes video tutorial whereby our module tutor gave us the topic. i was given topic on 'Using Probability Language' for grade three( mathematics). I was anxious about how to go about creating a video tutorial and was bit worried as well.  Then I tried to record in laptop using those features learnt through watching guided video on camtesia that sir has uploaded. It was quite impressive as all I need to have is power point presentation on ' Using Probability Language'. However it was bit challenging for me to record screen while presenting. I was bother by Webcam and I could not explain smoothly, I did several rehearsal before actual recording.


After trying several times, I saved all short videos whether it was good or bad and edited using features in camtesia. Still then I could not get rid of keyboard sounds( which was produced while changing slides) which was bit distracted. Finally, I am done with making video tutorial uploaded below. The final video was made to upload in face- book group created by module tutorial where we were make to comment each others video.It did not went as perfectly as I expected but I tried my best. Gradually as we can see that our education strategies are developing through advancement of technology, it is very must for us to prepared for such video tutorial in future.

Therefore, camtesia is one of the software that is used to edit videos and publish it. It contains different features which help us to modify our video clips to make it more effective and attractive. First, we can just record short clips and join all small scenes using camtesia. Thus,as a teacher I can use this as teaching-learning materials. Moreover, using videos can do away with monotonous classroom teaching and motivate learning.
