Screen captures done with Greenshot – free download – I find it much quicker than Prt Screen because easy to select area capturing – you may prefer to use your whiteboard camera tools
Great set of Google docs – teachers collaborating to show different ways they have used a variety of applications in the classroom.
Photos – as we become more familiar with IWB software / videoing software etc – the issue is often finding the right picture – with the right to use it.
Flickrcc – searches for pictures where this right has been given as long as the photo is attributed to the photographer
Back to words – blogging – being taken up very enthusiastically by more schools now.
Easy collaborating tool
Put in words pictures files etc –
