Video Everywhere is a new technology tool that I am exploring as a way to introduce video into my online classes. I plan to use this tool to introduce my students to each module in my online classes. Video Everywhere recordings benefit all students who need repetitive review of material and feedback. Video assists deaf students as well by allowing them to record and share sign language.
