Check out this website I found at
classtools.netI love using videos in class. One of my goals for this semester is start making some more videos myself. I am thinking of using puppets to deal with the issue of privacy and avoid exposing children.
I was really amazed when I found out about interactive you tube videos http://preview.tinyurl.com/mbpo3p. The article I am quoting from classtoos.net not only features some videos but also has a guide teaching you how to make them.
I hope you enjoy it.

I really love multitasking. I guess once you discover the wonders of the Internet, you just cannot help. Something I also like doing is watching TV. I know that web TV is becoming a reality in the US, but some of the services are not available to other countries. I was really happy when I found out about
viewmy.tv where you can watch TV programs from many countries around the world (such as this one where a storyteller entertains children with her story),

In this article the New York Times calls the Internet age “The Age of External Knowledge.” Just last night in a voice chat with some colleagues (one in Morocco, another in Russia, and me in Brazil) we were discussing how the web has made conversations possible. Not only that, the web has also made us develop filtering skills due to abundance of data it exposes us to. It is worth reading and sharing with friends.

Hi dear blog readers,
I am posting this from Facebook. One thing I love about facebook is the fact that it is always integrating most of the websites and tools I use into its page. I myself have sometimes found it difficult to move around and do the things I want to. However, I still think it is one of the best places to make friends and do lots of other interesting things.
I have lots of friends in Farmville right now. I tried to play it, but just did not find it so interesting. I guess I am not really a game person. On the other hand, I always find myself playing around with its more productive applications. A big hand to social networks and the power they have to connect people.

One of my contacts in Grouply shared this video card maker with the group. I decided to test it and found it really interesting. You can record and customize a message for different occasions. A problem I see is that it generates a link only and not an embedding code. I decided to post it to my posterous blog (which is connected other blogs) and see how it works. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Merry Christmas to you all and may 2010 be a happy and successful year.

Gone are the days we sent real Christmas cards. I used to send many. I guess I just got too busy or too addicted to the web. Besides that, we also have to save the Amazon, don’t we?   I am in favor of lesser and lesser paper and more interaction. So, this is my message for the holidays. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year

Online sharing and blogging service Posterous has been getting a lot of attention recently. The development team is adding features regularly and it’s fast becoming the best way to share content with all your different social services while also keeping it all in one place too. The best bit is you can do it all via email.
With so many ways to use Posterous it can be difficult to keep track of them all. Here we’ll take you through everything you need to know about it and suggest a range of ways you can use it to make your online life easier.
The basics
I have been using posterous for a while and I am really amazed by how simple and useful it is. I have just discovered this blog post written by Martin Bryant talking about how many ways you can use this blog host and decided to quote it using the posterous bookmarking feature. I hope it is useful.
