Camstudio

I tested Camstudio. I found this screencasting tool very useful.

It videos your whole screen or just a portion of your screen so you

can use it to demonstrate how to use software or to teach a skill.

It was a very easy program to learn. It has 6 buttons to use. The first 3 are the primary

ones. The red button starts the recordings. The blue button is for stopping the recording.
and the black button is for pausing your recording.
You can chose to video with voice or you don't have to use voice. It will just show the mouse movements then when you edit it you can add screen anotations.

I think this program is great for helping a person or class learn a software. It is very user friendly. I will chose to use this program over screentoaster. I didn't find one fault with this program. It saved the file very fast. I was able to veiw and edit my video without any problems.

You can download this program at http://camstudio.org. I would recommend this program to all teachers. It would be a great learning tool. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Here is an example of the screencasting video I took.

This is a test I did with camstudio. I show you how to download the software.

Then I give a demonstration on Adobe Illustrator. I walk you through how to make a

flower. I will be using this tool in the future. It was a lot of fun to use.

The only thing I did not like doing is recording my voice. I have always hated

to do that. This was easy because its like talking to your self.
