What is Camtasia?

Camtasia is used to create videos of your computer screen (including motion & narration). You can also do simple editing.

Examples: Photoshop demonstrations, Scott's math class (example 1, example 2, example 3)

Note -- files are BIG (~ 0.5 MB per minute), so students need good Internet access to download (can also distribute on CD)
