Capture the school year in review on video

Sticking to the scriptWhat better way to sum up the school year than with an interactive video summary? Lucky for us Richard Byrne of FreeTech4Teachers.com wrote about and created a how-to video to show us how!

In the blog post, Byrne mentions that you can use YouTube’s photo slideshow tool, Stupeflix or Animoto to create audio slideshow videos. But Byrne seems most excited about Wideo. With that tool, you can insert interactive buttons into each frame of your video and the buttons can link to any webpage allowing users to click on them when watching your video.
