Student Comments (Advice to future students)
The camtasia programs that Steve put together were invaluable!!! Review them, take notes, review them again. That picture was worth a thousand words - and the added words made it all the more clearer.
Student Comments
Watch the Camtasia lectures first thing. Then use them again, as you need to. Within a few minutes of seeing & hearing Steve go through steps you get an idea of the whole unit/week is about.
Student Comments
Camtasia. I have learned most technology stuff I know from a book and was initially reluctant to sit there tapping my fingers on the desk while the demonstrations played, but they were incredibly useful and clear. Plus, as a distance learning student, stuck at my desk so much of the time, there was something kind of nice about hearing a voice.
Student Comments
Listen to the Camtasia lectures first as they are very helpful. I could hear Steve teaching, and something about his voice makes it evident that he is enjoying this class and that he really wants you to enjoy it as well.
Student Comments
I found the video lectures one of the most helpful parts of this class. Reading alone does not always make technology concepts clear, but seeing someone else going using the different applications is indispensable. In an online course it can be nice to hear a human being on the other side of the computer.

Advantages
Humanize/PersonalizeIt’s easy to do the basics in each programReuse and Repurpose content
If you break things into small chunks you can “mash-up” your content to create new content
Be timely (the world loves video) Who doesn’t know the term Viral Video?
Vodcast Podcasting is cool…vodcasting is very cool
Disadvantages
You have to learn something newIt takes time to record, produce and uploadYou may have to change your approach
Lectures should generally be “chunked” Attention spans are short and bandwidth is precious
Break things apart to put them together in other ways
Might have to re-do PPT slides so they scale “6x6” rule
