If you have an I-Pad, here are a few potential free “apps” that you might want to check out:

 

·        Educreations:  Captures voice and paginated white-board.  Imports photos or images from the I-pad camera.  (Check out the “featured lessons”)

·        Showme:  Similar to Educreations; has hundreds of available lessons to browse. 

·        Knowmia:  Create and present slides (similar to powerpoint); more advanced drawing tools and text features; allows the “talking head” in addition to screenshot. 

·        Explain Everything:  For $2.99 has editing capability, advanced drawing tools, can import power point slides, save as video files, and upload instantly to many sites.  “A Mike Waters Recommendation” (at our 2013 meeting he said he was not going to look at anything that costs money…so this must be pretty good).

Other Useful Tools

 

·        MWSnap Tool (for Windows):  Capture as a picture any portion of your screen, for use in a presentation document such as PowerPoint.  Available from CNET (among other places).  Cost:  Free

·        PRIMOPDF:  Converts documents (word, powerpoint, etc) to PDF files using the “print” function.  Cost:  Free
