Innovative resources for webinars, communicating, & collaborating

I did a 4 part online workshop series with a group of 50 educators and entrepreneurs on online tools for communication. We got people started on how to use the tools to create your own online program, webinar, webpage, video collection, or website. Here is the collection of my favorite productive, effective, and inexpensive online tools. Please comment with your suggestions or questions. Visit University Training if you’d like to get the online workshop program.
