Educational Tech and Web-Based Tools

I have seen some great educational uses for technology both in and out of the classroom over the past two days. The video below demonstrates the Optoma pocket projector which is about the size and shape of a Flip camera, and can be connected to one as well. With it, you can display your video to a small group without the need for everyone to crowd around the small screen of your portable video device.

Others are using tools like PollDaddy to obtain feedback from students and share results instantaneously. These polls along with other tools fit on web pages that can be viewed easily even with mobile devices such as smartphones or the iPod Touch.
