So much fun AND a marvelous lead in to the glories of Wikipedia: http://listen.hatnote.com/

To use tech you need a reason to do so and you need a platform to situate it. Reasons might include: a specific problem, saw a coolity that you want to create as well, change your workspace, connect to stakeholders, dissatisfied with status quo and want to shake it up,

Here's some of my platforms where I try to practice what i preach:

I go through periods when I read comix and periods where I want to make comix, but I am not much of an artist, but...this is my secret to being a producting comic artist--templates and easy software.

So much fun and so many uses in the classroom and out: http://www.wittycomics.com/

Here is a series of comix I wrote this spring for the #rhizo15 MOOC: http://impedagogy.com/wp/blog/2015/05/10/bittersweet-happy-mothers-day/

And another: http://impedagogy.com/wp/blog/2015/05/07/practice-practice-practice/

My trick is to use wittycomics to create what I want and to capure it with SnagIt as a screenshot.

Smore is a way to make flyers that look like newsletters. Printable, too: https://www.smore.com/app/dashboard

Here's a flyer I made: https://www.smore.com/m29cq

Just can't say enough good about this tool. I use it at least once a day and often more. So...much...fun. I used to create the slack and nurph graphics

SnagIt: https://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html

I always have a few tools that I vow to learn. This is one of them, Storyboardthat: http://www.storyboardthat.com/

I am going to try the premium model because it just looks so cool.

What a great team productivity tool! It has a free version that is perfectly adequate for most folk's use.

Here is the link: https://slack.com/

Here is a use case:

Want to download a YouTube video and use it elsewhere? Clipconverter is just the trick. I use it when I am making animated gifs using VideoGif.

Clipconverter: http://www.clipconverter.cc/

The tool has idiosyncracies and the user interface is a bit hincty, but man does it do the job. Try to download this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysa5OBhXz-Q

Here is the Android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bunkerapps.clipconverter&...

Is it safe? Yep: https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show_mobile?name=clipconverter.cc

Want to download audio (songs) from YouTube or Soundcloud? Have at it with Peggo: http://peggo.co/

It is so easy. Try this wonderful song by April Smith on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPXu7grYRCc

Twitter and Videoconferencing. Just started using Nurph, aka Google Hangouts for Twitter

It takes a while to get a channel, but I suspect that will get faster as they ramp up.

Here is the link: http://nurph.com/

They are adding screensharing: http://simpleweb.co.uk/2015/nurph-to-add-screen-sharing-to-group-video-twit...

Can't get 'enurf' of Nurph? https://medium.com/@JayminiMistry/i-just-can-t-get-e-nurph-of-group-video-c...

Here's an example for you to 'scrub' through: http://nurph.com/StarTrekHour/replay?chat_id=1942
