That guide was designed for average computer-using classroom teachers, not computer science folks who enjoy tinkering. Therefore, in my guide I left out the fact that JayCut's API is free and allows you to put the JayCut video editor on your own website.

"Those special events where everyone seems to have a camera flashing such as field day, classroom performances, and field trips offer a special opportunity for teachers and parents. It gives everyone a chance to grab those candid shots and capture great moments on film, but often there is difficulty sharing all those photos and videos in one place. Email works to a point, but often this is cumbersome and has limitations with file sizes. Worry no more. Today's post will make video and photo sharing easy while keeping those treasures private and safe."

Free documentaries come in a number of different styles and are made for a variety of reasons. Most of them aim to educate the viewer on a particular topic: war; environment; health. Documentaries can also be used to enlighten viewers and give them a new point of view. Mostly they serve to highlight our previous mistakes so they don't happen again - which is why it's important to watch them. Many documentaries these days also try to incorporate stunning visuals and sound to keep the viewer's attention as they're watching.

"At Key To School (KTS), we believe that Moodle is indeed a gift to all educators. However, it was observed that setting up and maintaining a Moodle server was an uphill task for many educators, not made easy by the restrictions imposed by many non-managed hosting providers. On the other end of the spectrum, the managed Moodle hosting was too costly for a first time Moodler who wanted to get acquainted for Moodle. We strive to ease both the learning curves well as provide the most affordable price - free, for all Moodlers. "
