Haugen’s Tech Tips Blog

Want a quick way to add simple text or drawing and then quickly post to email, blogs, etc.?   Skitch is  from Plasq, the makers of ComicLife software.  Not yet released, Skitch is going to let you drag its window over whatever’s on your screen, draw or add text on top of it if you want, then quickly move it, email it, blog it, etc.  I can’t wait to use it with students, as it seems incredibly intuitive.

The Axiotron ModBook™
The ModBook is the first Mac tablet computer solution.  This could be a great tool for students who need onscreen keyboards or other alternative input in a portable laptop.  It’s not even priced that much higher than a MacBook Pro.  Special ‘pre-reserve pricing’ is $2200-$2700 (specs at the link) through Feb 1, 2007.

• Write and draw directly on screen
