T4LT - TouchCast
A video production app for an imagined "future of video on the web" is here today with TouchCast. Free to download on the Apple App Store or as a Desktop version for Windows 7 or 8. Add video app elements to your video as you record - you become the talent, producer and editor all in one.
T4LT - Interlude
Interlude.fm is a mashup video + branching scenario editor. And it's more than that as the scripting platform they call the Treehouse allows for loops and skips and a menu layer over the video. An app like this will require some planning and storyboarding, but the results can be really engaging.
A few notable videos to check out:

T4LT - Draft
Collaborative editing and revising is at the heart of Draft -- An alternative to Google Docs, perhaps with even easier to compare, accept, reject, re-revise suggested edits. If you struggle getting all your students set up with Google accounts or need them to write and re-write without formatting tools obscuring the way, Draft is worth checking out. Find it at http://draftin.com.
T4LT - Inline Feedback
A couple of inline feedback tools for written work in this episode: Crocodoc and Kaizena. With these tools, you can comment on and mark up student work (or your own work), on the web and on the original document.

T4LT - Quizzing Games
Learning and play really do go hand in hand. And while quiz games might not be the same as engaging in creative manipulation of the world around you, they can help to organize and deliver materials in a way that promotes improvement and engagement. To learn, we must continue to challenge ourselves in novelly repetitive ways.
