Episode 019 - iPad AirSketch

In this episode I show AirSketch a cool whiteboard program that allows you to project what you're doing on your iPad through your classroom projector wirelessly. Basically, what AirSketch does is create a web page that another computer can access. All you need to do is point a web browser at your iPad and then the magic happens. As you write or draw on your iPad the writing appears on the projector. You can be anywhere in your room as long as you have a Wifi connection.

In the free version all you get is a whiteboard with a black pen. In the paid version ($6.99) you can change your pen tool and import pictures or pdf files to write-on/mark up.

Episode 018 - Camtasia Mac: Shapes and Filters

Part three of our introduction to TechSmith's Camtasia Mac. Topics covered: Callouts and how to use them, we also look at filters and use them to change the collor of our callouts. In this episode we also get our first look at one of the limitations of Camtasia Mac related to color. Unfortunately any shape you make will have a gradient fill that you have very little control over.
