Hello!

Another update for you:

Free Reading Tools for Students has been added to the Accessibility page.

A collection of free bits of software designed to help students read the text on a computer screen.
A new collection of text to speech converters has also been added to the Accessibility page.

These will take typed text and turn it into a spoken mp3 file that students can listen to.
Kick YouTube has been added to the YouTube Tools.

KickYouTube is a very easy way to download videos in various formats from YouTube just by adding the word "kick" to the web address of the video you want to download.
Academic Earth has beed added to the Online videos page.

A great "Youtube" style site but dedicated to showing academic talks and lectures.
YouTube - Edu has been added to the Online videos page.

YouTube's dedicated Education channel.

That's all for today!

Cheers.

Paul.
