Bring SnagIt and Camtasia Studio Into the Classroom

Posted on Tuesday November 22, 2005 by Betsy Weber

In the past, I talked about math videos made with Camtasia Studio.

Now, I've had a few people ask me how to make their own math or whiteboard videos.

I'd recommend visiting Tim Fahlberg's great site, CoolSchoolTools. He has lots of great resources about whiteboard videos complete with tutorial videos. Visit here to see how to make your own videos.

Tim isn't the only one making whiteboard videos...he's been helping train teachers and students how to create & produce their own Whiteboard Movies all over the world. And recently he even collaborated with his three-year old daughter to make videos with Camtasia Studio - that's got to be the record for the youngest person in a whiteboard movie! You can view her video here.

Tim's got his sister, math and computer science professor Linda Fahlberg-Stojanovska making videos, too.

Tim has also worked with another math teacher, Julie Dansby, who not only creates whiteboard movies with Camtasia Studio but also has her students making them too!

See examples of Julie's Whiteboard Movies here.

See examples of her students' movies here.

I started talking with Tim over five years ago about whiteboard movies and finally had the chance to meet him earlier this year on a trip to Seattle. It was wonderful - I mean, how often do you get a chance to meet a whiteboard movie star?! I should have gotten his autograph...

We also have several free SnagIt and Camtasia Studio lesson plans available on our Web site, including one about making whiteboard movies with Camtasia Studio.

great stuff. i love the postings that aren't about the geek stuff but highlight the humanity -what's real, and what really matters.
