Module 4 video

Module 4

Hello and welcome back to my blogspot.  I have been working on my powerpoint using Camtasia and SnagIt and it has been a learning experience.  I have never had the opportunity to work with either software, but I have had instructors that posted videos for viewing with Camtasia.  As for SnagIt, I have often wondered how people were able to do things like are available with SnagIt.  Technology truly amazes me and scares me too.  I will be the first to admit that I am hesitant when working with new programs.  I'm always afraid I will mess something up.  Using these two programs was an educational experience and I am looking forward to learning more about them, because there are things that I still don't know how to do.  I am still learning how to blog as well.  I just can't seem to get the videos I create to post to my blog, maybe I will get it figured out.
Have a good week!

SnagIt and Camtasia

This module has gave me some insight on two new Softwares that I haven't ever used.  I have heard of SnagIt and seen videos from an instructor using Camtasia, but as for myself, it is all new.  I think it is very interesting.  Camtasia reminds me of MovieMaker which I have used.  I guess I will be finding out how similar the two are as I continue to work on my assignment.

Blog Update

Hello,

Just following up with my blog.  This past week I have been working on my PowerPoint presentation.  The tutorials and reading was helpful.  The tutorials helped me to have a better understanding about some of the features in PowerPoint that I haven't worked with a lot.  I have worked with PowerPoint in the past, but this time it was a little different because of all the details that were required in the presentation.  I enjoyed working on the PowerPoint, but got a little worried when I couldn't figure out how to include my YouTube video.  I think I finally figured it out.  I am looking forward to our next module.  I am not sure is going on with my video, but I have tried over and over again to insert it.  Maybe I'll get it right sometime.
