Opentest - Elevating the product experience
Maybe you can relate. Feels like expectations are mounting, while directions provided from the Ivory Tower are murkier than the St. Johns River. Following orders is a challenge, even on a good day. Improve Communication
Opentest is a practical solution for familiar heart ache. Improve communication, gain clarity. Record your screen and share directions that are sharper than my Opinel pocket knife. Easy Set Up Fill your cup with recordings. Big or small, Opentest doesn’t mind. Beating out a long time favorite of mine, Screen Cast O Matic. That’s saying a lot. For the past year, I used Screen Cast O Matic to record the majority of Education Hunt reviews on Youtube. Moving forward I am an Opentest man.
Opentest is a giver. No time caps, and HD quality recordings. Plus set up is a single click for a chrome extension install.
The next time your 3b middle school math needs a tutorial try Opentest. Record what you need. You’ll be pleased to see a shareable link when your recording is finished. Count it as another reason to go ahead and kick the tires. Take a test drive. If you are filling ambitious, try a combo attack. Copy your Opentest link, use elink to share out.
If you have something to say, record it and share out.

CONV. - YouTube to MP3, YouTube to GIF, YouTube to MP4
Make YouTube yours. Connectivity is The Achilles heel of the mythic lesson plan. More than once, beautiful lessons wear the stain of failure. A common culprit, poor connectivity. Convert and Keep
Conv. converts YouTube video to MP3, MP4, or GIf. Consider Conv. your River Styx. Dip content in Conv., making bullet-proof media.
Next time you find an amazing clip on Youtube, convert to mp3, gif, or MP4. Download the file. Play when you are ready for battle. It’s not perfect but you wont be vunerable to lack of connectivity.

Last week I asked for a cup of Coffee with a broken link. Shame. I’ll try that again… If you love Education Hunt, buy me a cup of Coffee. Money raised will support my caffeine habit. It also helps to raise funds for production costs.
I’d like to get some Education Hunt gear out to you guys. Nothing high class, but something worthy of rocking with pride. Tshirts, stickers, and swag. I expect nothing but appreciate everything. Kind words and contributions alike.
