Cool Tools

Maybe it's been around for awhile, but I just discovered cooliris when viewing Alan Levine's Amazing Stories of Openness. CoolIris is an add-on to your browser that allows you to view a collection of pictures or videos in its entirety, on a "wall". You can scroll along the wall, select an image to view. Here's the cool part: the images can be on flickr, facebook, your computer...My grandchildren were mesmerized when we did a google images search for golden retriever puppies and we could browse through the collection. Easy... YES. Cool...YES

Cool tool 2 came to me today from Tom at the Rapid e-Learning blog. It's screenr. It's an online tool for recording videos of your desktop. The video can then be downloaded as an mp4 or sent to your youtube account. Here's my first attempt. Easy... YES. Cool...YES
