Friday Five-Tools for Teachers I love Infinite Thinking Machine.  Almost everything that I read from them is useful.  This blog was posted on April 4th, but I thought it was timely anytime.

1. Google Tasks  Allows you to create tasks in your GMail account and also convert emails into tasks.  Then, you can check them off when you are done.
2. Sticky Notes This is a free software download that allows you to make sticky notes for your desktop.  You can even email them.
3. Jing Project This is also a free software download that allows you to make screen capture for text.  For $14.95 a year, you can capture video and convert to MP4 format.
4. Screencast O Matic This is a similar tool to Jing, but does not require a install.  You can create a video of your screen without installing anything.
5. Zoom It This is a utility that you can install that allows you to zoom in to any part of your screen with the stroke of a key.  This is good for visually impaired students.  This is also a free download and you can put the download on a jump drive so you can use it on other computers.
6. Prezi  This is another Zoom tool that has been in beta testing, but is available now.  You can get a free version of the software.  It allows you to click on an image to zoom in or use the mouse to move around and show different perspectives.
