You have probably seen a lot of these new presentation tools that are coming out like SlideRocket, Prezi, and SlideShare. These are all separate tools that take time to learn, but they add a whole world of new options and choices. When you are updating your Powerpoint presentations to be hip and fresh, you want new ways to deliver the material, but you just don't have the time to learn a whole new set of tools. How about trying out Snap? This is a tool that works through Powerpoint to give you all those extra, cool options right in the program that you are already working in.
Snap allows you to record audio/visual content right into your presentation, add clickable webpages, insert youtube videos, insert flash animation, add interactive quizzes and surveys, add open-able attachments for additional learning, and publish online and offline. This program does it all, by just adding another set of tools to your existing Powerpoint menu. (Right now they only offer a Windows version and it is a one-time fee of $99, check out a comparison)

There is always more you can learn in Moodle and this week is no exception. We have gone through a few key areas of Moodle like Question Banks and Quizzes, Hyperlinks and Videos, and Login and Courses. Now we will take a step back and focus on the look and feel of your Moodle course.
This first tutorial deals with your Moodle shell, what it looks like and what some of the basic options are for you.
This second tutorial deals with editing your main course information and image, the big picture and title at the top of your Moodle course.
This last tutorial helps you understand the basics of your WYSIWYG Editor, which is what Moodle uses to make writing code into your page very simple and hopefully stress-free!
Enjoy!
