Cool New Tools

Linktivity Presenter -
A Free screen annotation software that allows the user to write on any document, anytime anywhere.

This allows teachers to mark up a word document, do a math lesson or annotate a web page in class, using a mouse or tablet. The tool bar is easy to use (picture-upper right, and allows on screen notes- picture below, red marks). PC only. Link to Linktivity




iQuizmaker -
Make multiple choice quizzes for iPods. Free, easy and powerful. When you've made your quiz, it can be emailed out right from iQuizmaker. Science quizzes, vocabulary, Constitution quizzes all become a little cooler to practice for. No, you don't even need an iPod, it'll run on your computer alone. Mac only right now, PC coming. Link to iQuizmaker


Tuxpaint -
Another whiteboard software, with more of a primary feel, although plenty
powerful. Tuxpaint is an open source "paint" software that has many of the same
qualities that a good whiteboard software needs. It's Free, for Mac, PC or Linux.




Here's a look at the tool bar....very easy training curve,
I'd say about 15 minutes for most users.

Download Tux Paint
