Tech Tools You Should Know About Too

I met with one of my colleagues after school yesterday to talk-tech with her. We did some URL swapping as well. Here are some of the amazing sites she informed me about, which I wanted to pass on to you.

• Common Craft is a small company that makes easy-to-understand videos about various aspects of the web. They have adorable, puppet-show-like videos that explain everything from what a wiki is to how to do a web search. Not all of Common Craft’s Videos are free. (Click here to view free ones.) However, there is a deep discount for schools to purchase a license for their videos.
  
• Progressive Exchange hosts a listserv that enables you to ask technology questions and get answers from lots of different people. Anyone can join and participate in an ongoing technology conversation! Want more info? Just click here.
  
• Vimeo is yet another social networking, video streaming tool. It’s a site I’m considering (along with VoiceThread and the Jing Project) for online digital storytelling hosting.
