 Hi, this is Russell Stanar from teachertrainingvideos.com. We're going to look at Snagit 2019. We're going to look at how we can use it in education. Without a doubt, this is my favorite educational technology. Hopefully, as soon as you watch this video, you'll see why. Let's get straight into it. So Snagit is a screen capture technology. That is, it allows you to mark an area on the screen and turn that area into a video with just one button and click, and it's very common in the use of blended learning, flip learning. Most of the content you've seen of blended learning and flip learning courses, a lot of it is produced using screen capture. I've got Snagit here. We're going to choose video capture. We're going to click on the capture button. We just mark the area that we want to record by holding down our mouse. And I'm going to kind of record myself here talking over this PowerPoint presentation. I turned the microphone on as well. Let's just put that to the top of the screen there. Click on this button and start recording. So let's imagine that I wanted to record myself given a PowerPoint presentation. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. And today's presentation is about flipping your classes. I'm just going to press on this pause button. I'm going to click onto the next screen. And then I'm going to click here again. What I'm going to do today is I'm going to introduce you to the idea of the flip classroom. And then I'm going to take you through some of the features of the flip classroom. Press the button here. I'm going to jump onto the next screen. And I could just carry on recording each of these slides of this PowerPoint presentation. Now, once I click on this button here, that video is actually ready immediately. And if I click on play, good morning, ladies and gentlemen. And today's presentation is about flipping your classes. And seeing it would just go through and it's a video. And in fact, that video now, I don't even have to do anything else. I can just click on Save As and save that now onto the desktop of my computer. Just call that Recording 1. And we have made ourselves our very first video, which we can then upload into Moodle, upload into Edmodel, or share with our students on email. It's just simply that easy to make a recording. Now, imagine I could be talking over PowerPoint. I could be talking over a graph. I could be talking over a picture, et cetera. Now, let me just show you a few more of the ways that we can use Snagit. So let's quickly check that video. So here it is on my desktop, the one that we just saved there. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. And today's presentation is about that's how quick it is to make a video. It's just incredible. You literally mark an area, you click a button, and then whatever's on your screen and within the area that you've marked becomes a video. Could be a picture, could be a map, could be anything. Let's just show you a few more examples now. So let me do another example. And in this example, what I'm going to do is I'm going to just talk over some pictures. And this is a really nice thing about Snagit. So I'm just going to click here again. Now, don't forget, I don't have to mark the whole screen. I can just choose the area that I want to record. So I'm going to talk a bit about this map and then I'm going to show you a little trick here. So let's just start here. Here we've got a map of France. The major cities in France would be Paris. They would also be here to the South Marseille. Another big city in France would be Lyon. Just going to click on the pause button. Now, what I can do is I can actually now move to the next image. Just carry on again. Okay, so this could be like a presentation of different cities or sorry, different countries in Europe. So just click on here to continue. Here we have Spain. Major cities in Spain would be Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, which has about a million people and also Seville here to the South. Okay, so I've done two. I'm going to just click on now and move to the next one. So it's a bit too big here. So I'd probably have to resize the image, but that's no problem. I can just do that, bring that down to make sure it fits inside of the image and then just carry on doing the recording. So it's no problem there. Okay, so that'll do that gets Italy into the map. Carry on here. Here we have Italy. Italy has a number of very big cities. One would be Milan. Another one would be Rome here in the South or in the center of Italy. And then to the South there would be a large city which is Naples. Another big city in Spain or sorry, in Italy would be blah, blah, blah. Okay, so you get the idea. Click on the button. The video is ready. Here we've got a map of France. The major cities in France would be Paris. They would also be... Okay, so you can see how easy it is for me to make learning assets. Now again, I could save that learning asset by just clicking on save as and saving that onto the desktop of my computer. And we'll do that again. We just call this one maps. Just save that. Now let's have an actual look at how that video is. So let's go to my desktop and just play that video. So we come onto the desktop. We can see it here. Maps, there was the one we did before. Let's just click on it and play it. It'll come out lovely and big on the screen. Here we've got a map of France. Okay. The major cities in France would be Paris. And you can see how easy it is to make a video. Now that could be talking over a graph. It could be talking over pictures. It could be talking over PowerPoint presentation. You can see how easy it is to use Snagit. One of the things I love about Snagit is the way though that you can take a video and then immediately upload it into YouTube or upload it onto your Google Drive or upload it into Dropbox. And I'm gonna show you that now because it's such a useful thing about working with Snagit. So let's do another example. And I'm gonna show you something really extraordinary with Snagit that I really love and it is such a time saver. I'm gonna do an image capture here or video capture of my website. So I'm just gonna introduce people to my website. So again in teaching, this is really useful. Often we wanna show students websites or apps and how they work. So I could just do a recording of this particular app and that's exactly what I'm gonna do. So I'm just gonna click on this button here and just do a little video. This is the website teachertrainingvideos.com. You've got lots of free content here at the top. And you can just click on any of these buttons and access the content. And you've also got additional content here below if you're looking at particular different areas. For example, if you're interested in the Flip Classroom, click on Flip Classroom and you've got a video there that talks about the Flip Classroom. Okay, so I've just done a quick video. Let's just play it back and check it's worked. This is the website teachertrainingvideos.com. Now what I've done is I have added in my Google account to snag it. And I've already done this, so it's automatic now. You only ever have to do this once. So what happens is when you have a Google account, you have access to a YouTube channel. And so I can directly add my videos up onto my YouTube channel just by clicking here, send to YouTube. It will open it up and I'm just gonna put here TTV test video 2019. And you have to put a title and a description. So I'll just copy that in again and one tag as well. And I'm gonna say send me the URL. That is it will send me back automatically the actual link to where that video is on YouTube. So it's really good to click on that. And then I'm gonna make mine unlisted. That means that nobody can find this video unless they have the link. So you can't search for it on YouTube. So now I'm gonna click on upload. It'll only take a few seconds. I can see that video is being uploaded there. And then after that time in a second, it's gonna tell me that the video is ready. And it's already done it. And I'm gonna study it says get link. And I'm gonna click on here get link. Okay, so it's actually already told me that the link is now available. So all I'm gonna do now is, and I'll just make this a little bit smaller so that you can see what I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna open up a tab here. I'm pasting that link. So control C or control V, sorry, to paste in that link. And now I'm gonna click on enter. And that video is online. This is the website teacher training videos. So you can get a video from Snagit straight up online immediately. And that's one of the things I absolutely love about working with Snagit. Now I'm only giving you here a really simple description of what Snagit does. You'll notice below underneath this video there's a link to additional playlist of videos. Don't worry if it says Snagit 2018 because there's very little difference between Snagit 2018 and 2019. So any videos around Snagit 2018 and 2019 are relevant. This is a really nice idea. And what I want you to think about is, let's imagine that your students have written an essay for you. So we've got here a piece of work. Let's imagine that this piece of work, this writing is a student's work. Now I could go through the student's work and say Mark, one of my favorite ideas around using Snagit is to use it to give feedback to students. Let's imagine, for example, that this is a student's essay. And I've just read it through and there's a few things I wanna clarify. I wanna clarify a point that the student's written here and I wanna clarify a point that the student's written here. And I wanna clarify a point that the students have written here. So I could be opening up a student's work onto my screen. I could just read it through, check where I wanna give them some feedback. Then I could open up Snagit and I could mark around that piece of work. I don't have to go full screen because I can always scroll through it. And then I could actually record myself giving feedback to my students. So I could just click here and just wanna talk about this problem here. You say students need to understand that not everything they access through social media is necessarily true. Can you explain a little bit more about what you mean by this? Then I maybe go down to the next thing, blah, blah, to talk about that. And then the next thing. So I could actually give feedback to the students orally going through their work and then save that as a video and send that to the student. I could upload it into my Google Docs. I could share it in all these sorts of places here on my Google Doc group drop box in my OneDrive or in YouTube and then send the link to the student so they could actually play back their feedback and listen to it and find out what mistakes they've made. So great if you want students to send you their written work and then you give them feedback on their written work. Now Snagit can do loads more things. And what I've done is I've added some links underneath this video if you wanna learn about Snagit and image capture. If you wanna learn about Snagit and using the webcam because you can also use your webcam when you're working with Snagit. I also have got some videos about some of the really complex things that Snagit can do with image capture as well. So please make use of the videos that are underneath. If you're particularly interested in the feedback idea which is really the main area where I use Snagit then come to my website teachertrainingvideos.com and come down here and click on this video about feedback and you can read and find out a lot more about using feedback or using Snagit to give feedback to students. I really hope you found that video useful. As I said, brilliant tool. You can see why it's used so much for blended learning, recording PowerPoint presentations, talking over images, talking over documents, talking over graphs. Also, don't forget, you can get your students to use these technologies as well so you can get them to record themselves giving PowerPoint presentations, et cetera. I love Snagit. I've used lots of different screen capture technologies but I think for a teacher, it really is the ideal tool. Make use of the videos that are underneath this video that will show you many more things about Snagit. And if you like this video and you wanna learn more about other technologies then please come to teachertrainingvideos.com. Lots of different videos here of different technologies at the top of the screen. There's different subject areas here that you can click on underneath on the homepage if you wanna learn about different kind of aspects of teaching and learning. And one of the things I would suggest is that you sign up to the newsletter. If you sign up to the newsletter then you can keep up to date with all the new videos that I add. I'm always looking at the use of technology in education. And a good place also to follow me is on YouTube. I put lots of videos onto my YouTube channel as well. And thank you very much.
