Visual Presentation Toolkit

I am a little daunted by and also really enjoying my new project.  I have been focusing on the resources that will be housed in this toolkit.  I have spent a bit of time being reminded that the internet is full of wonderful resources, total junk, and everything in between.  In other words -- I have been watching a lot of videos.  Some of the resources I am including are a little old for my students (for example the Google for Work videos, but I think they are worth including as they are well made and include some useful information that I think is visually accessible.  I have struggled to find upper elementary friendly resources that also include audio.  I am reluctant to include too many resources that are heavily text-based, as I think such sites will be challenging for a portion of EMES learners.  I am getting ready to start making some video tutorials and plan to use different apps for that work so as to practice using them and be able to show kids some of the different tools in action.  My Visual Presentation Toolkit home page now includes a Lego Movie Maker video.
