A good list, but one of my favorites is MonkeySee.com, which produces all of their how to videos professionally. And I love Wikihow’s breadth of topics, but just wish they would have a way to do videos…it feels like they’re missinng out. Anyway, something tells me there’s only going to be more competitors as the year goes on.

Thanks for the list of great resources. I had heard of many of them, but a few were new to me. I will definitely be using many of them in our online school eDCSD: Douglas County Online Education. Thanks again.
