Training Videos

Supporting teachers using technology is never easy.  They want to be trained as quickly as possible and usually don't have time to attend training classes.  A few years ago I created videos to help with training at my district.  I was doing some course work while getting a Master's degree.  I used an open-source (meaning FREE) program called CamStudio (http://camstudio.org/)  to capture my screens.

I captured an Excel lesson using the program and a cheap microphone.  It took about 20 minutes and I didn't edit the video at all, I simply created it and uploaded it to Youtube.

It has been five years since I uploaded that video... hard to believe.  But that video has over 35,000 hits.  How's that for training!

Here is the link.
