Share Your Computer Screen Or Take Over Someone Else's
Sometimes my students need help with something technical we are doing. Well now I can take over their screen or they can see mine. Well now I can easily take over their computer screen. From the same makers of Screencastomatic (which I've blogged about before), you can now use Quick Screen Share to let someone else see what you are doing or even to take over their computer screen. As with Screencastomatic you do not need to set up an account and only need to let a small java file run to be able to do it. A big thanks to Notanotherhistoryteacher for this heads up.
