Project management. Gantt Charts. Free.

I just started working on a project with a couple of students, and we’ll be using this software to track the progress. We should start early getting our kids to learn project planning and management using tools like these, don’t you think?

Run, Don’t Walk! Go Get Jing!

Awesome free software allowing screen captures as pictures or movies. Great performance, saves videos of your desktop as .swf movies. Use for screenshots or how-to training movies, or illustrations of ICT examples. Only gripe I have with it is the 5 minute limit for video recordings, but that is sufficient for almost anything.
