tutorial on how to use Diigo - good to send to teachers. excellent example of how to use voicethread for tutorials

Filled with great links and tutorials on a variety of topics. (Building a document camera using a Macbook, Graphic Converters, SmartBoards, Skyping, etc)

 You have to register to start off. Interactive tutorials start-off from the very basics where you familiarize yourself with the home row keys, and then on to the more advanced lessons which are all about drills. There are specialty lessons too where you get to type chapters from literary classics and other works. So, even if you have nimble fingers, you can start off somewhere in the middle rather than start over. One of the nicer intelligent features of the online tool is that it learns your most error prone keys as you type the lessons. Once TypingWeb has learned which keys cause you to stumble, a custom practice lesson can be created for working on those specific keys. Features of Note: 12 typing games serve up practice and fun. A free teacher's portal with features like interactive lessons, real-time student monitoring and reporting can be used by schools worldwide. You can set any among seven languages and choose from 26 different keyboard layouts.

Great bank of how to resources for every teacher!  

a fun and free typing tutorial, even if the interface does seem rather dated. (It works fine on Windows 7.)

a typing tutorial that is intended for beginners and advanced typists alike. Although the Viking theme might not appeal to everyone, it does help keep the otherwise monotonous typing lessons lighthearted and somewhat fun.

I am also developing a site for pupils called www.MathsMaster.Org  . My plan is to develop a video tutorial for every topic on the secondary school curriculum (11-16 years). The site is very much in it's early days but lots of pupils are using it already. I'd be really interested in hearing your impressions of the site and please feel free to share it with your pupils! 

Video library of lessons in all subjects and areas that we teach.  Definitely a good resource for students and your teaching. 

A GREAT resource for learning new tech tools like Diigo, Mixbook, Mindmeister, Twitter, etc.  

top 3 tips: 1. keep 3-5 min, longer= lose interest; call out students names in videos, allude to class secret or secret word used during next school day 3. Storyboard plan your video 5. Hold students accountable: can't participate in class experiment/activity if haven't watch video. Give quiz at beginning of class. Use unlimited attempt online quiz to complete to 100% after watching quiz. 6. Create forum where kids can discuss video, ask questions...then assign kid to be teacher assistant to answer questions, cont discussion
