Instant Screencasts


Even better than freeware such as Camstudio, Screencast-o-matic makes it a cinch to create a screencast for you class. And the best thing is that it requires no log in, so your kids can narrate their slideshows or do other tutorials and post quickly to Moodle. You can even add a talking head if you have a webcam. Get started today, by going to Screencastomatic.com and clicking on Get Started.
Here is a basic video on how to use it and another on how to use for narrating PowerPoint.

pdfescape--Fill out or edit any PDF


This little Web 2.0 is great for having students fill out worksheets, college applications or doing those mean little grant apps that aren't fillable. It's also great if you need to change a date or white out the answers on something, add a sticky note or what-have-you.

Best of all, there is no log on required or registration!

Even though it is fairly self-explanatory, check out this video tutorial. http://bit.ly/rlSsw0
