I have been fooling around with ustream tv and CamTwist over the last couple of days and I am really impressed. Ustream tv is a service which allows anyone to to have their own internet tv channel and record show or stream live shows. CamTwist is a Mac application that allows you to add various quartz elements to you webcam, things like an RSS feed, Scrolling text, Pictures, and tons of visual effects. In fact CamTwist has so many features and is so user friendly I can't believe its free! How could you use all this in your class? Start your own channel. Imagine having the kids script and record there own T.V. show. Or how about using your class as a studio audience and streaming your own show. You could then download a copy of your show to your hard drive and post it to YouTube. The possibilities are endless. Check it out for yourself.
