Ett år med Chromebook – fördelar och nackdelar - VD-BLOGG På nyårsafton 2013 köpte jag en Chromebook, en bärbar dator som man inte kan köra några program på. Allt sker i webbläsaren Chrome. Under det år jag nu har använt den har jag noterar vad som fungerat bra och vad som fungerat mindre bra. För dig som funderar på att gå över till Chromebook från exempelvis Mac (som jag nu slutat med efter nästan trettio år!) tänkte jag dela med mig lite av mina upplevelser under det här första året. Fördelar med Chromebook Snabb Den viktigaste fördelen för mig är hur otroligt snabbt den startar. Tyst Chromebook är underbart tyst – helt ljudlös faktiskt. Stabil Chromebook är ruggigt stabil, att den hänger sig inträffar i princip aldrig. En del saker att lära om för den som är van vid en vanlig desktop-dator (och att lära nytt från början för andra): man behöver sällan spara något – istället för att lära sig det får man lära sig hålla utkik efter synk-ikoner. Nackdelar med Chromebook Plastig Känslan är lite plastig, inte så solid som man skulle önska. Evernote?

Zoom - Record Video Conferences in HD Zoom.us is a great service for hosting and recording video conferences in high definition. I was introduced to it by Rod Berger when he proposed using to record segments for the #askRichardByrne video series that we're producing. I'm glad he recommended it because it is a fantastic tool. Zoom.us allows you to record your video in a side-by-side format to equally feature both people in the recording or switch between featuring one person more than another in the video (click here for an example). When you record through Zoom you're given an HD video file to save locally as well as a separate HD voice recording. Zoom isn't limited to just webcam views as you can also share your screen through the service. Zoom does require that you install a desktop client in order to call, receive calls, and to record. Applications for EducationZoom.us could be a great platform to use to record the virtual appearance of an author or expert in your classroom.
8 Overlooked Useful YouTube Tools When most people think about YouTube they think sharing videos and or about all of the videos they can discover.

Create photo slideshows. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Webtools: No Registration Needed for Students Welcome to my list of webtools that don’t require student registration. This started off as a simple curation for myself and has ballooned into something that I never thought would get this big. And it is still growing. I started added comments to each link, but that is taking a long time to complete. Please bear with me as I update it. While I do try to verify each link on a regular basis, please be aware that websites do change and some of these sites may no longer be active or may have switched to a paid version. Free. Over the next while, I will be adding labels to each of these to designate whether you can use this site without any registration at all or will need the use of a class code given by the teacher. If you find a bad link, bad site, or any other error, please let me know through the comment section.
