Video Chat With Multiple People At Once

I wanted to make everyone aware of ooVoo. ooVoo is program similar to Skype but you can video chat with up to six people at once. You can also use ooVoo to send video messages via email. If you use online chat clients or video conference software, ooVoo is a free download and definitely worth a look. Please visit http://www.oovoo.com

Promethean Planet

For those of you who have a Promethean Board, be sure to check out Promethean Planet. Promethean Planet is Promethean's free online resource center. There are many great things you can find on this website, but the most exciting are the resources. Teachers from across the world have uploaded their flipcharts for you to use. There are also resource packs that provide you with more images and graphics. The nice thing is that you can open the resource packs from the website and they will install into the appropriate location in ActivStudio. Just make sure you have ActivStudio closed before you open the resource pack. There are tons of resource packs. One I would recommend is the Action Objects Resource Pack. Oh yeah, if you have a flipchart you are especially proud of you can upload it to the Planet. If yours is determined to be the best of the month, you could get chosen to be the monthly “Teacher Feature”. The winner of this title can receive a FREE IPOD.

Aside from the resources, the site also provides news, professional development, user guides, and a forum. The forum is set up like a discussion board where you can post comments or questions and others can respond. If you have any questions, chances are that someone has already asked it. So, take a look at the forum. Some other sites you may want to check out are prometheanworld.com and prometheanlearning.com.
