I am the Training Manager for a State Government organization. My department is responsible for a lot of technology training. Anything from Microsoft end user products to proprietary software written by our in house programmers. I would like to focus on ways to teach these topics at a distance within the confines of the infrastructure that I have available to me. Currently, I am trying to become well versed on software tools like Camtasia and Captivate so that I can create instructional videos. But that’s only part of the process, I want to successfully design a full training curriculum that provides the students with ongoing lessons and activities for a determined period of time. Not just a one day class.



=Here is a link to my Jing Project at Screencast.com= []

====The Jing tool can be a great feature for teachers to use in the class room because it enhances what might have been taught face to face. Example, a teacher might go over instructions for a lesson plan that is started in the classroom, but then finished for homework. By the time the student gets home he/she might have forgotten the original instructions and demonstrations. Not to mention the parents who were not in the class but have to help their child do their homework.====

====A teacher can easily make a Jing production, store it for free, and email the parents so they have the link. In this particular case, I used Jing to create the initial screen capture, but then I used Camtasia to edit the video and add a few extra features.====

Then I used Myna, the program we were introduced to last week.
====I used Myna to mix together the news clip and my two separate Audacity recordings into one MP3 file. For good measure I also created a Wave file just in case. After a lot Podbean drama, I was able to publish the podcast to the site and then capture the embed code to link the podcast to my posting.====
