My students were very creative this week. They created tutorials that would be helpful to their K12 colleagues. I must say that they did an excellent job.
The tutorials were created in Camtasia and then each student group posted their tutorials onto TeacherTube to share with the world.
Take a look at the tutorial below. It is a tutorial on how to create a Google Custom Search Engine as well as some options and tips for using this tool in your classroom.

Students in the Instructional Technologies course I am teaching this summer are creating some good projects and organizing them into a Web portfolio. They are using googlepages for their portfolio and I must say that this tool only gets better and better. I thought I would share a few of the student portfolios (this is a large class) with you. If you like them, post a comment onto their blog to let them know. They will like that.

My students have created some very interesting tutorial screencasts - on the basics of excel - last week. A screen cast is the process of creating a movie of your computer screen. This simple task can be used for many purposes with your students or even by your students. Jon Udell got screencasting up and running. He has created several meaningful screencasts himself and has some really good tutorials on screencasting to get you up and running.This is there first time my students created a screencast. Each student had a good experience screencasting and shared some possibilities for its use in the classroom. Below is one example of what my students accomplished.
A great tool
