![]() The Movenote app lets you record video alongside documents or pictures to create an integrated video presentation with slides.
Creating presentations is easy and fast. Simply record video with your device and swipe to synchronize the slides to the video. Presentations are shared by sending a link to the recipient and can be viewed without the app.
About Movenote in short: Movenote is a tech start-up from Helsinki Finland and offers its service in the desktop and now also as a mobile app. The most important feature of the desktop version at the moment is its integration to Google which was published at the end of last year. The integration enables the user to upload documents directly from Google Drive and share the video presentations from Gmail. Movenote is available from the Google Marketplace as well as the Chrome Web Store where in february it was mentioned as the fastest growing business app. In addition, every day more than a dozen new educational institutions or schools start to useMovenote.

![]() Leadership is about sharing, giving – making those around you better. Leadership is about uniting and inspiring teams to optimally perform. Leadership is caring about a societal cause that the business can influence. This is what most businesses refer to as corporate social responsibility.
Leadership is indeed a social responsibility, yet many people are out of touch with how to be an effective leader. Many people believe that because they carry an important title or have tenure within the organization, others will automatically follow them.
Today, leadership is much more than just authority – it’s about being ethical and staying true to your beliefs and values.

If you can’t be clear about what you stand for, it will be impossible for you to lead with clarity.
Rik Stegehuis's curator insight,
May 8, 2013 12:05 AM
My interpretation of Leadership that I like to share with you today is that Leadership begins within ourselves first, before anything else.
How can we be a true, authentic and integrated leader if we do not really know who we are? Ask yourself right now: WHO am I ? It's not as easy as you think, because I am sure you end up giving answers to WHAT am I or WHAT do I do? That's the way we were programmed to answer: it reflects WHAT we are on the outside, not WHO we are on the inside. Get the point?
Bring this into your personal life, become a leader of yourself first. Then become the leader of your own life. Live your live on your terms, not on someone else's...
To get started on this, take some time for yourself without any distractions, in a different place than your usually are and reflect. Write down (with a pen and paper) what your Personal Vision is (your WHY), your Personal Mission (your WHAT) and your Personal Values and Principles (HOW) and be surprised about yourself what's coming up to the surface...DO IT and HAVE FUN!
![]() Infographics are interesting–a mash of (hopefully) easily-consumed visuals (so, symbols, shapes, and images) and added relevant character-based data (so, numbers, words, and brief sentences). The learning application for them is clear, with many academic standards–including the Common Core standards–requiring teachers to use a variety of media forms, charts, and other data for both information reading as well as general fluency...

Las infografías son una herramienta muy útil por su factor visual: en poco espacio y de forma visulamente agradable y atrayente, engloba datos y relaciona conceptos.

Hi David, Keeeb is a good tool if you need to collect and organize web resources, images or video. It's better than Pinterest functionality-wise but it does not have its audience. So my advice is try it out and see if it does what you need to do.

This is a great tool which matches up YouTube music videos to lyrics. Just enter the name of a singer you like then select a song. You'll see the lyrics appear beside the song. Great way to improve your language skills.

I don't count on McAfee for anything. They get it wrong too often and they expect to be paid for it. For personal use AVG or Avast are more reliable and less intrusive. Especially when dealing with people who don't really want to learn how to use a computer.
