Student's record the computer screen while demonstrating how to use Pivot Stick Figure Animator using the free video screen capture program "Cam Studio". This is the first video of a 2 part video project. The two videos created with these tutorials will be combined in a video editing activity.
Student's will use a microphone to narrate the video with instructions during the tutorial.
