Online games and activities for children

I'd like to thank Christian Roberts for the link to this resource - Online games and activities for kids. Christian had found a page on my site that provides links to educational tools and thought this would be a good addition, so his mother wrote to me to let me know. It's a great resource, with lots of links to different educational games and tools that are suitable for a wide range of ages and interests. 

Thanks for the link Christian - you get a 'hat tip' - keep up the good work, and keep looking and searching.

Simple video chat and screen sharing

Don't fancy Google Hangouts? Skype not your thing? Then try Talky which allows you to chat with video and microphone, share your screen, all without any kind of registration at all. Very simple and wonderfully easy to use!

Icecream Screen Recorder

If you're looking for something that is quick, easy to use and above all free, in order to capture your screen, take a screenshot or record YouTube videos then take a look at Icecream Screen Recorder. It's an excellent product, and is easily comparable to priced products. 

You can choose sections of the screen, add in watermarks, use a drawing option, check your history, add a webcam and zoom in. It's very impressive indeed!
