Did you miss the SoftChalk webinar last week or would you like to review what David Evans showed us in SoftChalk? Wait no longer – the recorded session is now available (link). If you are interested in creating simple, interesting, and interactive content for your students, be sure to watch this recorded hour-long session.
Interested in more training with David? We will be scheduling a 3 1/2 hour hands-on session with David in February. Subscribe to the blog and you’ll receive an email when the training is posted.
Thank you David Evans, SoftChalk, for the excellent overview of SoftChalk. The tool has many new capabilities since we last looked at it. In today’s webinar David demonstrated how to add content, format it, stylize it, add images and add links. He also demonstrated how to create interactive content, including quiz questions. There were some very nice and easy new ways to find images stored in repositories (like Flickr and Wikimedia) and he showed how to insert YouTube videos. He really packed it in!
If you missed this one hour webinar, we’ll post a link to the recorded session in a few days. We’ll also be scheduling a 3-hour long hands-on SoftChalk session soon.
