Free Camtasia™ Studio: Create your Own Desktop Videos

(Note: This is a cross posting from the CLASSROOM Toolkit Newsletter because the offer for Camtasia™ Studio is so good.)

Desktop video is one area where existing Open Source software doesn't measure up to the commercial version. And, the "king" of commercial video creation software is Camtasia™ studio.

What would you pay $50 USD to get?

I was asked by the Texas Computer Education Association, Strategic Open Source, Special Interest Group (TCEA SOS SIG) to discover (and report) on what products and services teachers would deem valuable and beneficial enough that they would rush to join our group.

The cost of membership is:

TCEA Membership: $30.00
SOS SIG Membership: $20.00
------------------------------
Total Cost to Join: $50.00

Hi Joseph,

Hi!
I am finalizing two presentations for tomorrow and Thursday, both on the same handout CD.

I'll check out your Blog more fully, later. I have part of my presentations posted, they should be completely up by this evening.

If you would like to see some "Tell it like it is" articles about American education, feel free to check out my Blog and Newsletter.

http://www.classroomtoolkit.net/serendipity

American bureaucrats shun my articles, but seem to keep an eye on them. School district folks here also fail to enjoy my tendency to expose their "little secrets."

Even the Open Source folks shy away because I tell them that they focus too much on technology, and don't pay attention to the needs of teachers, especially on ways to make the technology easier for teachers to use.

Enjoy your evening.
