New tools I want to try

Purchased Tools I use

Camatasia or Snagit from Tech Smith for screen recordings

Wondershare Video Converter to dowload youtube videos for offline presentations when you don’t have highbandwidth when presenting. I download videos prior to class and then add them to a Keynote or PowerPoint to present with no buffering lag.
