Online Learning/ Instructional Sites

There are many online resources available that provide video for learning and teaching for teachers as well as students.
One I have found is called Present.Me. Present.Me  is a free resource (but can also be paid for various accounts) and can be used for PowerPoints and Video. This is a great resource for teachers if they don’t want to deal with screen-capturing software. They can upload a PowerPoint to Present.Me, and then film themselves going through the presentation. Present.Me displays the video next to the PowerPoint presentation so students can follow along.

Another great resource is Screenr. This tool is also free and includes a variety of paid options as well to avoid restrictions that come with the free version. This is a web-based video recording system that allows teachers and students to make webcasts without downloading any software. It is easy to use, can be recorded anywhere and can play anywhere as well (even on iPhones).
From this website you can click on the link that will bring you to the “E-learning community”. Here you can gain access to a great deal of resources, tutorials, answers to questions, free downloads for projects and blogs. This advice and ideas is great for teachers to learn from and can be found at:

I have added these resources to my delicious account and shared in my twitter!


Do you think it is beneficial to have students create their own video resources and share them with the class for instructional purposes as well as the teacher? Would this make learning more helpful for students or just more confusing with multiple students giving their opinions on the material being taught and learned?
