Hey everyone! A new screencast by Teacher’s Corner has been published! In this episode I give a feature overview on FotoMagico, the powerful slideshow creation program. Teacher’s Corner is a website created by a teacher (myself) for other teachers, for students and for everyone willing to learn. It provides you with interesting, captivating and sometimes entertaining lessons, tutorials and fully fledged courses on software, the internet and technology in general. I addition to that, another section of this website will offer short lessons snippets on learning English in the future. In this episode I introduce you to FotoMagico, the powerful slideshow creation application. FotoMagico is an easy-to-use application that allows you to create stunning slideshows to be displayed on almost any device imaginable. It’s ease of use is rivaled only by Apple’s iLife apps and yet it is far more powerful than those. It comes with complete iLife integration and cinema quality transitions. Feedback wanted I tried a different approach to screencasting in this episode: I wrote the complete script and read it into the microphone. After that I recorded and cut the video and matched those clips to the audio track. In previous lessons I spoke freely and didn’t have a detailed script. Both methods have their pros and cons. Reading a complete script leads to more concise and elegant language but might be a bit fast and sterile. On the other hand, improvising the commentary and speaking freely slows down the tutorial’s pace and sounds more personal as well as lively but will surely lead to more Uhms and Ahhs and even a few minor language flaws.

Hey everyone! I published a screencast and would like to share it with you! In this episode I showcase Crossword Forge, an application designed to create crossword and word search puzzles for both, print and web. I'll show you how easy this application is to master and how you can create visually appealing documents in no time. Known issues: There are some minor flaws in this show. None of them is a showstopper, so I chose to publish the show anyway: Minor language flaws: If you find them: Please ignore them. If not: Never mind. A nasty typo in the outro - it should be conjunction instead of conjuntion. The sound quality has been improved considerably compared to the previous show, it is not perfect yet. The volume changes slightly from time to time. Please join the forum and tell me what you think of this show. Unfortunately, the forum has been intruded by spammers lately, so, I'll have to approve every new registration before it actually goes live. I hope you understand that minor hassle.

My name is Chris Meermann, I am 34, and I live in Gladbeck, Germany. I have been working as a teacher at a comprehensive school in Germany, since 2000. I teach pupils/students from 5th to 13th grade. I teach teach History, Politic, Social Studies, English and Computer Science. I have registered to several forums lately for two reasons: 1. To get feedback for my screencast on technology for teaching and learning. http://www.teachers-corner.org/ As a non-native speaker I am especially interest in feedback concerning my English. 2. To make contact to other teachers, whose pupils might be interested in beginning a penpalship with German pupils.
