TechSmith and the No Child Left Behind Act

At TechSmith, we're dedicated to helping you with your needs. Find out how SnagIt and Camtasia Studio can assist you with the No Child Left Behind Act.

In January 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). This act, which is designed to improve student achievement and school culture, is built on four principles: accountability for results, an emphasis on doing what works based on scientific research, expanded parental options and increased local control and flexibility.

Let TechSmith's SnagIt and Camtasia Studio assist your school in meeting the NCLB technology requirements.

Improving... Student Achievement:

SnagIt and Camtasia Studio make it easy for students to accomplish classroom tasks. SnagIt allows students to capture images to supplement reports, capture entire Web sites, compile online research information and create inventive class presentations. Students also benefit from using Camtasia Studio, as they are able to record narrated presentations and record short tutorials that will assist them in their own learning processes.

Improving... Education through Technology:

The NCLB Act encourages schools to make technology investments, and TechSmith helps you apply that technology. Check out our education site to see how other educators are making use of our software. You'll also find tutorials, case studies and resources that specifically address the needs of educators.

Improving... the Quality of Teaching:

SnagIt allows you to save time and costs, while still maintaining the students' attention with fresh images of current events. Quickly create visual aids such as PowerPoint presentations, handouts and lesson plan materials - and increase student comprehension.

Educators can use Camtasia Studio to record anything on the desktop screen and share the video - post it on your course Web site, distribute it by e-mail or burn it on a CD-ROM. For instance, if you have a school-specific software program, you know how difficult it is to find resources and integrate it into your system. With Camtasia Studio, you can quickly create visual support material that is both engaging and effective. Then, if students need additional reminders on how to perform different tasks, it's easy to record and share videos.

In addition, instructors can use Camtasia Studio as an assessment tool. The educator can instruct students to perform a task and record their onscreen action. In replaying the video, both the students and the educators can learn from a user's mistakes. Or, use Camtasia Studio's built-in quizzing tools.

Improving... Parental Involvement:

Since Camtasia Studio videos can be posted online or placed on a CD-ROM, parents can always have access to their students' class material. As a result, they can see - and hear - exactly how students are being taught in the classroom. In addition, if a student is absent or needs a review, parents can watch the videos with their children and offer additional instruction. Likewise, the images provided by SnagIt give parents a better understanding of the instructional material. This relevant application of software technology will serve to improve the parent/teacher relationship.
