Doceri is an iPad application that allows the iPad to act as an interactive whiteboard. I would say that an application like Educreations is easier to use for this type of video creation, but what sets Doceri apart is the addition of Doceri Desktop. Doceri Desktop is a paid software for your computer that allows you to connect your iPad to the computer and use the iPad as the interactive whiteboard to write on whatever is on your computer's screen. This has come closest to what I was looking for. I was trying to find a resource that I could use at home to create videos instead of having to be in the classroom using the Promethean Board.

Attention Mac Users: Garageband has a dedicated function for Podcasts! Here's a nice guide to creating a podcast using Garageband!

This is a very basic video on how to use Garageband to make a Podcast. It is for Garageband '08 but it is pretty comparable to any of the newer Garageband software to date.

A basic runthrough of how to create a podcast using Audacity.

Our SIG Presentation Document

This is the link to the website for the online version of our textbook. I plan to use example problems from this textbook throughout my videos. Each student creates an account so they will have access to this textbook as well. When I assign homework problems from the book, the students do not have to take the textbooks home, as long as they have internet access.

Another free iPad application that can be used to create and share videos with verbal and written annotations. I think I like this app better than ShowMe because you can add text to your presentation before you record. This was helpful for creating the equations for my videos.

A free iPad application that can be used to create and share videos with verbal and written annotations. I like this app; it is easy to use and self-explanatory. I don't like that you can't type anything into the presentation; everything must be written or spoken.

A free software (there is a paid option as well) that can screen capture your desktop image and create videos for presentations. This software is limited depending on the version of operating system that you have.

This is a student created video on how to create a screencast using a Mac and with free, pre-installed software.

This website is a great information source for beginner podcasters. It provides links to sites that allow podcasters to start podcasting without any knowledge of coding or, in some cases, access to server space.

This link takes you to a Library of Congress site that explains to teachers how they can use primary sources to enhance their lessons. It also provides a guide on teaching about and with primary sources. I think it would be helpful on the wiki because teachers could access it in order to learn how to use primary sources to enhance their teaching.

This site provides a plethora of primary and secondary sources. Specifically, there are manuscripts of inauguration speeches that provide insights to a president's party platform. Again, this will be helpful for students researching party platforms and give students a chance to sift through primary sources and determine their importance

This is a link to a video of the first Kennedy/Nixon debate in the presidential campaign of 1960. Although the video is split into four parts I still like it because outlines both party's platforms, which goes well with a project my students will be doing concerning party platforms throughout history.

An online file storage website. This website is useful to sync your files between multiple devices as well as sharing files with others. I created a Dropbox account to be able to add images as backgrounds to my Screen Chomp presentation.

A third free iPad application that can be used to create and share videos with verbal and written annotations. This app does not let you add text to the presentation either. What I do like about this app is that you can add backgrounds from your Dropbox account. (If you need a Dropbox account, I can invite you to get an extra storage space bonus for the both of us!) I can take screenshots of equations or graphs and include them in my presentations.
