Make a Video for When You or Your Students are Absent
You’ve all had this problem. When students are absent, it’s a lot of time on your end to round up what they miss and try to get them up to speed. On the other hand, if you need to plan for a sub, it not only takes a long time to prepare, but when you get back you sometimes have to spend time figuring out what students were really told, and if they understood it. Camtasia Studio can help you out in both situations.

Students Demonstrate Understanding via Video
It’s one thing to write a short essay about why one website should be more trusted than another. A student can turn in a complex spreadsheet that might indicate a level of understanding. But there’s nothing quite like a good old-fashion show-and-tell. Here, students use Jing to record a brief demonstration. It’s a fairly quick activity that will help expose their reasoning and level of understanding.

A “Digital Hallway” Project
Displaying a student’s work can give the student a real sense of accomplishment and allows others to see what has been accomplished throughout the school year. But what if the tradition of work-in-the-hallway went digital – into an online space where students could easily display their work, teachers could evaluate it, and parents would come to view and comment?

Keep Students and Parents Updated – With Less Effort on Your Part!
Screencast.com is a great and efficient way to easily make information available to those who need it. Two of its features—MediaRoll and RSS—may sound a little more intimidating then they really are.

Student Groups Create Video Presentations
Students are often required to do research and give presentations. Camtasia Studio can take it to the next level by allowing students to articulate their presentation in a video format which can be shared with others in the building, the next year’s class, or even the world!
Create an Orientation Video for Students and Parents
I’m sure you have a packet that you send to families at the start of every year and when you receive new students. It’s a great resource, but have you ever considered making a video? Benefits may include - increased comprehension and engagement, clearly show “How To” processes, personal and welcoming first impression.
Provide Thorough and Personalized Feedback to Students
Here’s the challenge: You’ve got 60 papers. They’re from a really important assignment students have been working on, and you’d love to provide feedback at length. The trouble is that writing in the margins is a pain and very time consuming. Oh, if only you had the time for one-on-one conferences with students to go over important work together.
Capture a Website, Keep the Links, and Emphasize Key Parts
There are a lot of great websites out there, but some are too busy or contain content that might distract or be less-than-ideal for your students. Snagit can capture a website and keep all the links active. You use the Snagit Editor to “clean up” the site, and provide students with a “live” PDF. It’ll have the content you want them to have…and your chosen hyperlinks will be accessible.
Capture Instructional Content for Additional Student Practice
You’ve got a big class with diverse students. It would be nice if certain kids could get special reinforcement practice without a ton of extra work on your end. Jing can help.
