Ugh! I have been so busy that I forgot to blog. Sorry... I have been working on my handbook that I will use for my technology seminars. It is a lot of work but I love it. The main problem is that I keep getting sucked into the new technology opportunities and get lost in cyberspace only to resurface with dinner not made, laundry not folded, and a starving dog staring at me lovingly. (Isn't a pet's unconditional love great)
Anyway, things I have found include:
Jing - a great tool for taking a screenshot of something on your desktop. The best part is that you can select what you want in the shot, then you can add arrows, text boxes and highlights. It has been a lifesaver for creating my handbook. http://www.jingproject.com/
Voicethread - a tool for having online conversations and discussions. The Voicethread can hold a video or picture, then you can narrate text that is recording. Then others can provide feedback or add to your voicethread. Check it out: http://voicethread.com/#b409
Bibme - a site on the web where you enter the name of the book, magazine, website url, etc. then it gives you the bibliography entry - It has saved me a ton of time and helped me cite my sources legally and easily. Giving credit where credit is due has never been easier. http://www.bibme.org/
There is much more, but I have to get back to my handbook!
