PART-1: Camtasia Tutorial
One of your final group project requirement is to create a group project video (3 minutes) using the Camtasia Software.
This software is one of the most popular tool for creating video tutorials and presentations via screencast or slides. All the SAL lab machines have installed the Camtasia Studio 8 for this course. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camtasia_Studio )
1. Learn How to use Camtasia Studio 9 with these tutorials:

Please complete the first eight videos of introduction (around 30 minutes total). Then you can try to use the Camtasia by yourself.
There are some other resources about Camtasia Tutorial on YouTube: For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ6Ps24VLnI
Please create a very short video (10 - 60 seconds) and save it on your Z: drive or publish on a YouTube Account. (Such as how you create ESRI story maps or using ArcGIS online or use Microsoft Office applications).
