Resources for education

This is a practical tool for ESL/EFL teachers who like working with videos. There are free video quizzes and resources that can be used with students of different levels of proficiency. Students can work on their own, as an assignment, and then send their results to the teacher (who has to be registered to the site to get the student's performance on the quiz). Another option the teacher has is to solve the quiz during class time with students jotting down their answers after watching the video. The teacher, then, checks the anwers with the whole class. There are all kinds of videos, from songs to reality shows and documentaries. I have never used this resource in my classes but I'm considering doing so. Has anybody out there who has already worked with it? Did you like it?

Screencasting tools are available both as desktop applications (Free and commercial) and web-based services. The good news is that there are a growing number of screencasting tools that are completely free to use; some do not even require a registration to let you get started.
