Snagit 9.1 or Snagit for Mac - Gotta have it!

By
Today I tried Snagit 9.1 for PC and Snagit for Mac Beta, each for about 10 minutes. I'm SOLD! Slick and easy. To Capture, on a PC a Quick Toolbar sits along the upper left edge of your Desktop screen and pops out when you hover over it. Choose your capture profile (area, window or scrolling window) and release the mouse. On the Mac, it's even better. Choose All-in-One-Capture and just hover over a window, or click and drag and area or the rolling window button. That's it!

To Edit, the latest capture is in the active window. Others are placed in a bin below it unless you close them. Click to add premade arrows that bend, callouts or solid or hallow shapes that have opacity and shadow sliders. Effects are coming later. Your changes are saved in the bin version of your capture. Crop, zoom in, or use the time delay capture. Drag one capture over another to combine them. Drag them to your document.

Excellent help tutorials and instructions at video.techsmith.com/snagit/9/edu/showme/enu/new-user/new-user.asp

Get the free Mac beta at www.techsmith.com/snagitmac/get-beta/

We spend HOURS capturing, saving, inserting, labeling, and repositioning screen shots. This version, whether PC or Mac reduces that work tremendously - AND the graphics make you look good!

Geotagging

By
A "wouldn't it be nice" idea that's been around a while is the ability to tag a map with images that are linked to more information about the site. Kelly C suggested it as a way for students to share knowledge about a cultural/historic site or the geographic area they live in with classmates. (right, no addresses!) There are now cameras and even storage media that embed latitude and longitude into images as they are shot. But you don't need fancy new toys to do this. I tried Flickr's geotagging map and it's fun and supereasy. Want to try it? Log in to Flickr http://www.flickr.com Sign in as " techedine " password " wist101 " yea, corny. Click the " You " tab then the " Your Photostream > Map " or Organize > Your Map links. Click the Satellite link in the upper right. Cool view! (you may need Google Satellite downloaded). Images along the bottom of the screen with colored dots have already been droppe...

Avatar Chat

By
Aloha all, Here's my o wau topic for this week. We all know the power of the Avatar and their popularity with our learners from our A`o Makua courses and I know we have discussed ways to incorporate them into our `Ike Hawai`i classes as well. Well, I can't take credit for finding this resource. Our resident Avatar expert a.k.a. Christy told me to check it out because Avatars can now chat. So please join me in finding out what other engaging and motivating feats these amazing characters can do to help us provide meaningful learning experiences for all our students. You can read about OddCast and their AvatarSpace or go to their Web site and test out some of these features. I'm hoping that this may provide us with a motivating way to get students, in both programs, to participate in some cooperative learning and sharing. Let me know what you think and if you feel this would be a valuable application to use. Mahalo - look forward to reading your responses! Kelly

Zoho Creator

By
I thought I’d share this web application I came across in my quest to find a relatively simple app to help us manage our mentoring data in the DL Orientation. Our specific needs were that it be a free online database, password protected, had the capability of rapid form development without too much programming knowledge and was easy for the end user to use. The application that met these requirements was Zoho Creator ( http://www.zohocreator.com/ ) a part of a suite of online applications including word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, wikis, organizers and more. What’s great about Zoho Creator is that they have an online repository of applications already developed that you can download to your account and use for free. Initially, I tried some of these applications, but it was overkill for our needs. Zoho Creator can do a lot if you know programming and they have a pay model where it allows you more flexibility and features. I think Zoho Creator would be a useful tool for both...
