CREATE A VIDEO DOCUMENTARY WITH CAMTASIA

HEY, PERIOD 1!  HOW MANY OF  YOU ACTUALLY COMPLETED WEDNESDAY'S ASSIGNMENT, WHERE YOU HAD TO FIND 3 LOGOS OF COMPANIES OR ORGANIZATIONS YOU'VE BEEN AFFILIATED WITH?   I ASK BECAUSE I DIDN'T RECEIVE THE ASSIGNMENT FROM ANYONE.  THE ORIGINAL ASSIGNMENT FOR TODAY WAS FOR EACH STUDENT TO COMPOSE A RESUME.  BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY LOGOS FROM ANYONE, I WILL POSTPONE THAT ASSIGNMENT TO MONDAY.

TODAY'S ASSIGNMENT: FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2011

1.  Select a company that you would like to work for or an entrepreneur you admire.  You will produce a documentary on either one.  You may comb through this list of Fortune 500 companies to locate a company to do a documentary on.  If you do not find a company you like from the list, then you'll need to do your own search at Google.  You may search for an entrepreneur from these lists of entrepreneurs here, here, here, and here.  Pick somebody you admire or who impresses you.   
2.  Next, open this link to download Camtasia studio 7.1 free trial.
3.  Download the free trial.  You, nor I, nor the school will be charged for the download or for using the software.  It is a free 30-day trial.  Try it.  And by "try it" I mean to try building a documentary.  Because this is new, you might become frustrated, particularly working with the computers in your hand.  With Camtasia anything that you have on the screen it will record.  So whether you have a picture, a video, a song, an article, Camtasia will record whatever is on your screen.  But you don't want just anything on your screen.  You want selective pictures or videos and background music to create a video documentary.
