Video Tutorials from Stump the Teacher - great resource for getting started with tech

I recently found out about Stump the Teacher, a blog by Josh Stumpenhorst, and the excellent collection of tutorial videos he has on the blog.

The videos are well done and easy to follow and understand. Topics include: Google Docs, Blogger, Greenscreen, Twitter, Evernote, and more.

These are great for people who want to get started with any of these tools, or even learn a few new things.

Definitely a resource to add to your list of great, on-demand, tech professional development sites.

PowerPoint Tutorial

PowerPoint in the Classroom is a great resource for those just learning PowerPoint or those who want to learn more about it and how to use it in the classroom.

It is really easy to use. You can go through it in a specific order by clicking "1" and then clicking "next" when done with each page. Or, you can jump around using the navigation.

This is also a good site to share with students who are starting to learn PowerPoint.

Software Tutorials

Most software has a "help" menu that can answer many of your questions and help you figure out how to do things. You can also search the internet for help sites, user forums, and tutorials.

I've also found that most colleges have great resources, tutorials, and how-to's about software.
