For this assignment you will be using Camtasia software available for free to all UBC students through CONNECT to create educational videos through editing available raw science teaching videos. Videos will be housed on the STEM Education For All Youtube Channel.
For your video please follow the assignment checklist:
- UBC signature video in the beginning of video.
- Project signature slide followed by filled out video topic slide (exported as images from the PPT template).
- Acknowledgements slide at the end of the video.
- Use the “Fade” transition between slides and video.
- Use the soundtrack provided as background music for the slides (audio was downloaded from PremiumBeat.com and does not require attribution).
- Annotate (using callouts, arrows and lines) the raw video to emphasize key terms, concepts or elements.
There are many outstanding educational STEM videos available on YouTube and other online sites. These videos are great teaching resources for you and your students. They are especially valuable for flipped classrooms that are becoming more and more common in British Columbia and around the world. As a 21st century teacher you will want to create your own videos that address the needs of your students. A teacher who knows how to create his or her own educational videos using a video editing software, such as Camtasia, has a very useful skill under their sleeve. The goal of this workshop is to introduce you to Camtasia so you can become such a teacher.

- For this project many of you will be using lab computers, but you can replicate this process on your personal device.
- Locate your movie file (if you are using a file created by Marina, select one from folder “Camtasia Workshop Dec. 2016” on the desktop of the lab computer and open the file “Camtasia Movie List”.
-
-
- Choose the topic you will be working on and locate the associated video file in the folder “Raw Videos for Camtasia Movie List”.
- Prior to starting your presentation, view the raw video and make note of important vocabulary (consider ELLs as you do this).
- Choose the topic you will be working on and locate the associated video file in the folder “Raw Videos for Camtasia Movie List”.
