About Add-Art | Add-Art

I really love this Firefox extension. I strongly recommend Adblock Plus which hides most of the advertising that you see on web pages but I am now a believer in Add-Art. Now you can get the ads replaced with art.

Sheppard Software - educational games and activities for kids of all ages. Plus FREE software

Sheppard Software - educational games and activities for kids of all ages., originally uploaded by krossbow.

I was just browsing educational game sites today and found this one. Readers of this blog know that I’m like a blackbird to shiny objects when I see the word “FREE”. I followed the link to the free software for teachers and was surprised by how many titles they were giving away for free and for all grade levels.

Take a look for yourself

Docsyncer


DocSyncer - Synchronize Your Microsoft Office Documents with Your Google Docs Account

tags: docsyncer, documents, backup, sync, synchronization, synchronize

This is one my favorites right now. On my windows machine it seamlessly uploaded all of my MS office documents to Google. Then even when I edit a document on my computer it syncs the newer version up there. They are coming out with a Mac OSX version soon.

SpaceTime™

SpaceTime™

Fresh from the Consumer Electronics Show, this is 3D web searching. I have only played with this for about 20 minutes but it does have the wow effect. I do like that if you search in there Google search that instead of page of links it actually gives you the visual page results.

Give it a try and tell me what you think!

Here is the ftp link to download Snagit (you will still need key from the link above) ftp://ftp.techsmith.com/pub/products/snagit/725/

That’s right TechSmith is not only giving away Camtasia Studio for free but they have also made available their Snagit software for screen captures. This is only for Windows. Personally I have this software (paid for it) but since Jing came out I have been primarily using Jing. Jing is also multi-platform so it works for us multi-platform users.
