SOFTWARE Interesting in showing demonstration videos to students. There's free software called Miro at www.getmiro.com that allows you to search and download videos that can be used to demonstrate concepts in subjects such as science or social studies. One benefit of the software is that it helps you download videos for 5 days and then erase them off your computer to free up space.
