You will no doubt have heard of www.YouTube.com and www.TeacherTube.com but may not have used other video sites. A useful technique is to create your own channel where you can corral useful videos and upload your own.
http://vimeo.com is a good place to start. It combines some social networking tools with an easy interface. Collect or upload here and avoid a lot of the offensive garbage that seems to pollute YouTube these days. I have started one at http://vimeo.com/pcet That’s all that needs to be remembered.
Photoshop is great if you can afford it but you’d be surprised at how familiar www.pixlr.com is and how much you can do. Even if you don’t know much about image editing it’s easy (and no account/ log in etc. needed) it is to apply a filter and make images look great.
Short animations or ‘films’ can be created very quickly using ‘dfilm’ http://www.dfilm.com/live/moviemaker.html Great for summaries or novel ways of introducing the day’s objectives. Watch for how some of the characters are attired though!
