Three of my student recently shot this film on a cell phone. They edited the entire piece on Windows Movie Maker. It is a good example of way to use cheap technology to tell a good story.

Hi Joe,

With your work in Multimedia and Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
