These links take you to movies that may need some time to load. Once loaded you will have a firsthand view of the narrator walking you through how the tools work. Each file above has been made to be viewed in QuickTime version 7 or higher. If you want to use these in the classroom, load and play them once before the class to save time (they should load more quickly).
