Video Tutorials


 * Fun tools to play around with and easily use in your classroom:**
 * ZoomIt -- A great tool that allows you to zoom in and out of your normal screen with your mouse wheel, annotate the screen (like a screen shot), and even take stills and video. It's a Microsoft product, but it does integrate in a lovely fashion with the operating system. Well worth a few minutes to investigate, especially if you do any kind of computer-based teaching (live or online). It also has some other nice features (like a timer).
 * The Online Stopwatch -- A great way to do group-timed events in a classroom with a projected computer display. Very easy to use and a useful way to keep your students (and yourself) honest about short group work events or breaks.
 * Sankore -- Used to be called "UniBoard," but was bought out by another company. This is a terrific whiteboard program that is SO much more. Use a drawing tool on top of PDFs or images, work problems (if you're one of those math-y, science-y types), record audio AND video of what you do, and it's free! Worth the download and little play session!
 * www.voiki.com -- Fun, and not just a little useful for making text-to-speech introductions
