Workshop description

How often, in your educational material, would paragraphs and paragraphs of text be better off if replaced or supported by graphics, a screen capture or a video clip? Not only does this conversion help teachers gain precious time, but the material itself (procedures, course notes, demonstrations, simulations) also becomes more significant and more easily integrated when consulted by students.

This workshop helps you discover the functions of the screen capture software SnagIt, and to integrate and manipulate your screen captures in Word and PowerPoint, including still and animated graphics, screen sections, icons, menus, scrolling menus, and sound.
