After being introduced to the super cool <a href="http://www.xtranormal.com">www.xtranormal.com</a> (basically, it makes CG animated scenes using text to speech) and playing around with Wondershare PPT2Video (which, shockingly, outputs Powerpoint files as videos) I thought about redoing my lecture notes into videos with a host talking the kids through them.
