Has anyone tried these?

There are so many cool tools-no time to try them all. Has anyone used any of the following tools? So I started making a list of sites to check out. Then I thought how about posting the list and getting feedback from all of you. Can you give each one a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Then I can decide which ones to check out-and ditch the rest:)

Asterpix - http://www.teachersfirst.com/20/getsource.cfm?id=8940 is the place to view and create interactive video:

Voice Thread very nice indeed. make slides shows, add audio, text and video comments.
Common Craft videos, great intros to podcasting, and other 'stuff'
vixy youtube conversion, does what it says on the tin, download version of vixy much quicker.

I really like voicethreads as they have so many applications in the educational fields, are easy to set up and maintain. The educational version is free or you can subscribe to the ed-VT and enjoy a really protected environment. Their back up service is just so fabulous.
As to the fleck site mentioned, the flavour of the month amongst my twitter colleagues is diigo, which I have not got into but would like to. It appears that does similar things. We use bubbl.us for online mindmapping. It is a very simple version but easy to use and the students love it.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Kevin Carter on April 28, 2008 at 6:02pm: sketchfu.com Amazing what some people could draw with just the limited tools. Very interesting to "play" a drawing and watch how it was done. - Kevin Carter - Weymouth, MA; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by mary maloney on April 28, 2008 at 7:28pm: Thanks for the links! I looked at them all and plan to use most of them. The common craft link gave me an idea of how to introduce wiki's to my coworkers.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by James Dykstra on April 29, 2008 at 4:31am: The Common Craft videos are great. They have one or two that might not be appropriate (how to escape a Zombie, for example), but the explanations are simple, quirky and clear.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Marcus Pon on April 29, 2008 at 11:36pm: I used voicethread for a class assignment and it was not as user friendly as I thought. If you're interested in creating slide shows, Flickr, Photobucket and Bluestring work just as well.

Vixy.net was little problematic. It is not as reliable as savetube.com or you can download a free trial of Sothink's Web Video Downloader. It's really easy to use and allows you to capture not only swf files but also quicktime embedded movies too! The 30-day trial is free. The software is $20.

Good Luck!; ▶ Reply to This
