If you’d like to gain more control over your Facebook usage, this article shares
several useful tips.
If you teach science, you can access some very nice free
downloads of animated models. The models
are interactive and very well done.
If you’d like to be able to create screencasts (videos of
action on your computer screen along with voice track) on your computer at low
or no cost, there are two downloadable programs to consider. If you are
interested in pursuing either of these options, please call us in IT at
Extension 229 for training and assistance. Many higher education institutions
are using student created screencasts for collaboration and assessment.
Screencasts can also be valuable for teacher demonstrations.
Jing allows you
to create screencasts and publish them on jing.com. The software is available
as a free download. Jing screencasts are limited to 5 minutes in duration.
Screencast O Matic
also allows you to create screencasts, but with the added ability to export
them as mp4 files that can be hosted on our video server for use directly in
Moodle. The free version allows up to 15 minutes of recording, but the mp4 will
contain a screencastomatic watermark.
The paid version removes the watermark and adds many more options, and
the good news is that it is only $12.00 per year.
