Simply Awesome - ScreenCast!

If you're a teacher, you know how miserable it can be to get your PowerPoints and information online for students viewing. There are a ton of programs, that's hyperbole folks, out there to use, but I've recently become most impressed with ScreenCast. Check out the site for yourself!

It essentially allows you 'Jing' your lessons easily and puts them in one nice location for your students access whenever they'd like. It's easy to use and honestly doesn't take much time to master. Very worth your time if you want to prepare for possibly missing any class days or of course for your students who might miss class.

You get to two gigs of space free. After that, they have pricing plans; still, two gigs actually does a long way on this site as .swf files don't take up much space at all.

Happy casting!

Where My Science Teachers At?!

Today's entry is dedicated to my chemistry and science friends. This is a site I've known about for a while, but I share it now as it is a great resource for chemistry students, teachers, and other sciences.

It's called the Molecular Workbench. Check it out here.

It contains demonstrations and interactive models to SHOW how science works at the molecular level. Very cool stuff.

Enjoy!
