Which screen capture or screencast tool did you use? If you downloaded software, did you have any problems downloading or installing it?
I used Snagit. I was easy to download it and install it. I installed the free-trial version. Did you find the tool easy or difficult to use, or somewhere in between? Please discuss why you feel this way. I found it quite easy and intuitive to use. The main panel was showing two main options: picture or video. At first, I didn´t know what option I was using since it was shaded and it wasn´t so clear for me. After my first attempt, I found I was using the picture one. Eventually I could create the video screencast version. What was the topic of the mini-tutorial or screencast you created? Who is the audience for this type of material? As my Ph.D. program is Early Childhood Education, I used a PowerPoint to present one trending topic at this level of education: disparities. This "video" is addressed to teachers, advocates, educators, and other professionals of education. Do you think that screen capture/screencasting is a technology tool you will continue to use? Why or why not? Yes, of course! I really like this type of tool. First I need to improve my pronunciation (still working on it). I really like the opportunity to give you to share audiovisual information about some topic. I think it is very useful when doing online presentations since the audience will be able to see (for example pictures or documents) what you are talking. Do you have experience using any other screen capture or screencasting software before this week? If so, please briefly discuss this use and indicate what if anything new you learned from this week's module. I use Skype with my team in Spain and with other colleagues. Yesterday I had a presentation at TexTESOL IV (Houston) and the day before I was presenting in Las Vegas, Nevada, so my co-presenter and I were working on our google slide by sharing screens while using Skype. This week I had a webinar and the presenters were sharing the slides of the presentation while they were discussing that topic. Participants couldn't modify or edit the content of the slides but we could participate in the forum. I like this kind of streaming presentations. I have never expected to find too many software-programs and apps to do things like this. Is there anything else you would like to add about this topic or about your work this week? I will continue learning about this since it is going to be useful for future presentations. I hope you all had a great experience with this assignment too!
