My Camtasia project

This video is a tutorial for my seventh grade students who don't know how to format microsoft word. It shows them step by step how to format word in MLA format. This screencast would fit into my lesson of research papers. My students learn the ins and outs of doing a research paper. We start with planning, then research, and go through the stages of the writing process. It has always taken so much time for me to go around to each student who does not know how to format their papers on microsoft word. I didn't have the time to teach and format over 20 students' computers. Now I can sow them this video and let the students learn it for themselves. They can even stop and replay the parts they don't undrerstand the first time. Is is very exciting.
