The majority of the tools we will be using this week are web-based and there is nothing for you to install.
ALL of the web applications work just the same on Mac or Windows machines. PhotoStory 3 is the one exception - it is Windows only.
If you have Linux, Ubuntu, etc, - we have not tried all of these tools on that platform, but I'm guessing that most of them, especially the web-based ones, will be perfectly functional on those systems as well.
All of this software is free; however, some of them have special reuqirements.
Here are the applications that do need installation before you can use them at your home or school:
DO NOT INSTALL them in our computer lab - they should already be installed!
Diigo Toolbar - follow these instructions
iTunes - download
PhotoStory 3 - PhotoStory Homepage - download the software from this page - then install it.
For Windows machines only.
Audacity - download the software, and then install it. CHOOSE the correct version for your computer.
Audacity also needs something called the LAME Lib - download it and install it.
Hot Potatoes - choose the correct version for your computer:
Download HotPotatoes -
SightSpeed client - look for the red button half-way down the page - download and install

PowerPoint - this one is not free, but hopefully you already have it installed.
