Using etherpad and Jing

In one of our sessions we used a piece of free web 2.0  called etherpad or typewithme

http://willyou.typewith.me/

Go to the link above and type in what you want your pad to be called and press enter

You should then get a blank page onto which you can type

To get everyone onto this page all you need to do is share the web address, they can type this in or i like to email it around or make it available online through a forum post

It's a really basic word processor that everyone can type on at the same time, it should highlight each individual in a different colour.

If you use it with students you might want to get them to all type their names first so you can trace the colours!

If you have any other questions give me a shout

Jing

This is a piece of screen capture software, it allows you to video your screen so you can share this with delegates any way you like and they can follow anything you do on your screen. Really great if you dont want to risk a live online demonstration!

It also has online support to show you how to use it.
