My first attempt at podcasting!

I'm using Camtasia for podcasting and plan to use it for instructional videos. This has turned out to be too easy! It shocked me how easy it was. I chose Camtasia because I needed to record the screen as I teach the lesson. Not being particularly photogenic in videos, I shy away from being caught on camera. Camtasia allows me to teach a subject that can be viewed over and over as needed with just my voice in the background to go along with the mouse pointer on the screen. It does cost a pretty penny but I think it's worth every cent after seeing how easy the software is to produce my instructional videos. On YouTube and TeacherTube, you'll find many instructional videos and God bless the teachers who submit those but I won't be submitting mine. Instead, I plan to keep them within the secure walls of my organization to teach my staff. My staff members appreciate my documents giving them step-by-step instructions, so taking the instructions one step further into videos should be even more helpful, especially for my visual learners. Now I just need to practice speaking so I don't sound like I have a mouth full of rocks! ;-)
