Flashcard Machine

September 20, 2014March 5, 2021 Sue Frantz

February 3, 2014March 5, 2021 Sue Frantz

As readers of my blog know, I’ve been a big fan of Join.me for screen sharing. While Same.io doesn’t allow others to control your screen like Join.me does (yet?), Same.io does have video conferencing. Let’s take a look at how… Read moreSame.io: Share Your Screen… and Have a Video Conference Call

Screenhero: Screen Sharing with Dual Control

March 10, 2013March 5, 2021 Sue Frantz

Join.me is my go-to screen-sharing application with Google Hangouts running a close second. However, both only allow one person to “be” on the screen at any given time.
