A Big List of Sites That Teach You How To Do Stuff With all due respect to Kevin Smith, the web is no longer only for complaining about movies. In fact, there are a large number of very helpful sites that teach you how to do things. These are do-it-yourself sites, but we're not talking about building a deck or baking a cake -- the web is full of more general interest sites that give quality instruction on all sorts of fun and useful projects. Including, sometimes, how to build a deck or bake a cake. In this horribly-titled, but hopefully useful round-up we will specifically focus on such general purpose sites that include some sort of rich media instruction (generally video). If you know of any instructional sites that are missing from this list, please mention them in the comments below. Instructables - "The World's Largest Show and Tell," as the site calls itself, is a community where people can create and share guides that cover a variety of topics from art and crafts to food, technology, and the home.

Tips på IKT i skolan – del 14 | En blogg om skola, skolutveckling och samhällsfrågor Ju mer man jobbar med datorer i skolan, desto större blir behovet av att kunna spela in det som syns på skärmen. Det kan vara för att göra en instruktionsvideo till eleverna så det ser var de ska logga in/klicka etc första gången de använder ett program eller för att spela in en digital genomgång (särskilt användbart om du använder flera olika dataprogram i din genomgång). Som vanligt är det inte bara du som lärare som kan använda programmen, utan eleverna kan skapa instruktionsfilmer/genomgångar som andra elever kan ta del av. Det är viktigt att tänka på upphovsrätten när man gör digitala inspelningar. Vem äger materialet jag filmar? Då vissa program bara fungerar på antingen Mac eller PC skriver jag nedan ut vilket program som fungerar till vilken dator. Mac Quicktime ( (Om det inte fungerar kan du ha ett för gammalt operativsystem) Öppna quicktime, välj menyn Arkiv och alternativet Ny skärminspelning. Onlinetjänster (både Mac & PC)

10 do's and don'ts to make him remember you That sweetie caught your eye, and now you’re straight smitten. But how do you make sure that you’re on his mind as much as he is on yours? Here’s how to leave him daydreaming about you for days on end. DO smile. DON’T slouch. DO keep eye contact.Focus your peepers on his while chatting. DON’T overlook him.Sounds simple, but if you’re not letting him get a word in or even paying attention to anything he says, he won’t make the effort to talk with you again. DO put yourself out there. DON’T shy away.Name, grade, basic interests, sure, that’s easy enough. DO spritz yourself. DON’T try too hard.Bluffing your indie music knowledge? DO leave on a high note.

Do It Yourself Doodler So I am many things in this world, but an artist is not one of them. However, David Jablow is just that, and an impressive one no less. His Flickr stream is hands down one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen. He’s taken a 1950′s style Peggy Sue magazine model and put different worlds around her using a single template. The creativity and artistic detail are spectacular. Blank This is the basic template used for the entire portfolio.
