Here are just a few of the many excellent,
free tutorials and how-to guides available on the Internet for teachers
to use (either for themselves or with their students). Some are in the
form of short video segments where the instructor demonstrates how to
perform specific tasks or how to use the features of various programs.
Others are text based with screen shots as a way of instruction. Take a
few minutes to poke around and explore the possibilities.
