Camtasia Help

Listen to this article
If you want help with almost any aspect of Camtasia, they have a great library of movie tutorials.

Windows Movie Maker Help

Listen to this article
Designing and editing movies is a pretty complicated process. There are many tutorials to help you, but one of my best suggestions is to do your homework and watch as many videos and movies as you can ... but with an eye towards creating your own.

Rather than listing a bunch of links here, I'm providing a link to my Delicious page. Go there and click on the video tag or windowsMovieMaker.

Audacity Help Links

Here are some helpful links for learning and using Audacity:

Audacity Help
Audacity Wiki
Audacity Guide

I also have a bunch of links at my Delicious page.

Here's a photo album from our class on Thursday. The photo album was created on the Adobe Express site and then embedded in this blog. This class has been great so far, the students are all interesting and fun. I've learned a bunch from them, and I hope they have learned as much from me.

NWCET Summer Institute Web 2.0 Track Intro Letter

Listen to this article
Hi Everyone!

My name is Tony Sako and I'm the instructor for the Web 2.0 class next week. I hope that you're as excited as I am for the class. We're going to cover blogs, wikis, audio and video podcasting, screencasting (and more). It's a very hands-on class, and I believe that you will find that the skills you learn will be very valuable for you and your students ... not to mention a lot of fun!

We're going to try and cover a lot of ground, so it would be great if we could get started quickly. The first thing we'll do is get to know each other, which will be critical since we'll be working together to on manyt of the projects. To accomplish our quick start it would be great if you had a brief intro about your experience and background. You don't have to write anything down, just think about it. I'd also like you to think about the following questions:

1. What do you want to get from the class? Are there any subjects in particular that you want to concentrate on?
2. Are you already using any of the Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, etc.?

As a final request, it would be great if you could bring your own digital cameras and microphone/headsets if you have them. We're using BCC's equipment, and they have some flip-cams we can use, but I think it's better if you have a camera that you're used to. I have 7 or 8 microphone/headsets which we can share, but it would be great if you had your own and could bring it.

I'm also going to post this message to my blog at http://aasako.blogpot.com so you can post comments there if you would like.

See you next week!

Tony
