Videos for Higher Ed

The use of video is reinventing education. There is just something about seeing how something works that enables us to form a lasting memory of the information. As such, video is an excellent way to engage students in lessons as well as increase their retention of the subject.

This blog is a place for faculty to discuss video capture tools and make comments/recommendations for using video in instruction. As you contribute your views, please mention the tool you are using in your post's title.

Jing is like Paint - only easier

For years I have used the screen capture button at the top of my keyboard, then pasted it to Paint (found in your accessories section of Programs.)  I would then crop and save as a jpeg (picture) file and then copy that to a Word doc where I add text boxes and other info.  Jing is just a little easier, saves a few steps, and keeps your history for you.
I look forward to trying the video capture and voiceover feature which you can't do with just Paint.  The "Sun" feature on all screens does come in handy at any time you need it too.  Like this one also.
