Best Free iPad App of the Week: izik – Tablet-Optimized Search | iPad Insight | IKT och iPad i undervisningen | Scoop.it

"This week’s pick is izik – a fresh new visual search app that’s optimized for the iPad’s swipes, taps, and gestures. It’s powered by the ‘spam-free’ Blekko search engine and is touted as the first search engine that’s optimized for tablets."

Best 15 Free Video Conferencing Tools 2012

Best 15 Free Video Conferencing Tools 2012 | IKT och iPad i undervisningen | Scoop.it

Robin Good: If you are looking for a free video conferencing solution, here is my selection of the top 15 (and more) solutions available right now online.

I have personally checked each one of them, and while you may not like each one, they all guarantee the ability to video conference with more than two people (FlashMeeting is the only exception I have included) without you needing to pay anything for it.

 

Some, as good as Vidyo or Zoom.us may provide HD quality video and even full support for mobile platforms. Others, like MeBeam or Sinfor offer bare-bone ad-supported solutions that have zero frills but can do the job if you need an immediate, zero-cost solution.

P.S.: Feel free to suggest tools you know that should belong in this collection.

What about Skype? Too well-known?

Free HD Videoconferencing Across Platforms with Zoom.us

Free HD Videoconferencing Across Platforms with Zoom.us | IKT och iPad i undervisningen | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Zoom.us just launched a new cloud-based free HD videoconferencing service integrating full screen-sharing and other rea-time collaboration capabilities.

 

The service allows you to start conferencing immediately with up to 15 other users live, while supporting both Macs, PCs andmobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.

 

Zoom also integrates with both Google’s Gmail and Facebook, making it possible to easily access contacts from both of these services.

 

Zoom.us doesn’t offer all of the features that other video-conferencing and real-time collaboration tools may offer, but it’s free and has capabilities such as high-definition 720p video as well as the ability to do screen-sharing.
