Productivity+Tools

LiveBinder A three-ring binder on the web!!! Add it as a link in your brower's bookmark toolbar to be even more productive! They have an introductory video on their homepage that gives a great introduction. When you create your account, the first binder that is automatically put in your "My Binders" list is an introductory binder that is filled with "how-to" pages! The introductory binder also includes a page for ways that other educators are using LiveBinder.

NudgeMail Send your reminders to your e-mail inbox...write an e-mail (or even forward an existing message) to NudgeMail with your reminder included. NudgeMail will e-mail you a reminder at the day/time you've specified. More detailed "How-to" instructions are available on their website.

Springpad "A free app that helps you remember" Organizes your lists, etc.

Jing Take screen shots anything on your screen...or capture video (including audio) of any portion of your screen. They have a free version available for download...Pro version is around $15/year...Jing Pro gives you more options for saving, uploading, etc. Here is an example of a video/audio screen shot captured through Jing. (I think through Jing Pro since I needed it to be a .mp4 file format for my graduate course.)

Greenshot Another free screenshot tool. Must download Greenshot to your computer...I think this program offers better annotation/editing tools after the screen image is taken, but I have tried it very little.

Free Online OCR This is a tool that allows you to easily convert scanned documents, faxes, screenshots and photos into **editable and searchable text**, such as DOC, TXT or PDF!!
