Look for the download at the bottom of the page
"Free PDF to Word Doc Converter v1.1"

From the website...........
Why PDF to Word Doc Converter is FREE?
One day when I was looking for a free desktop program to convert my .pdf files to .doc files I found none. And the shareware pdf conversion software is very expensive. So in my spare time I wrote this free program to help people who want to convert PDF to Word documents.

Online Stop Watch and Definr

I missed you the last few weeks with the Thanksgiving Holiday.
ThumbDriveThursday is back in full swing this week with a couple more outstanding websites to share. They are friendly with the ActivBoard.

The first one is the online stopwatch. You can check it out at
http://www.online-stopwatch.com/

Everybody needs a stopwatch at some point -- and there's never one around!
Well... Now there is! Online Stopwatch!
A Simple, Fast Flash Online Stopwatch and Online Countdown timer always available when you need it.

You can count up and count down. It has an alarm when the designated time is reached. You can do it online or download the application and use it on a mac or pc. You can even add it as a gadget.


--------------------------------------------------

The second one is called definr. "The incredibly fast dictionary"
http://www.definr.com/

You can open up definr on your activboard. When students need to look up a word, they can look it up using the floating keyboard on the ActivBoard.

-------------------------------------------------

Enjoy!

See you next week.

How's the weather?

This information is from the lat long Google Earth Blog......................

In the latest release of Google Earth layers, we're letting you play weatherman by publishing a slew of great, dynamic weather data.

If you're running the latest version of Google Earth, you'll notice a new "Weather" folder in the layers panel.

The "Weather" folder contains three sub-layers
Clouds -depicts a global satellite mosaic of clouds created on an hourly basis by our friends down the road at the Naval Research Laboratory in Monterey. For a special visual treat, try zooming in towards the clouds. You'll eventually find yourself below the clouds, at which point you can look up and see the cloud deck above you.

Radar
The "Radar" layer contains a near real-time Doppler radar image of the United States, updated every 15 minutes. This data is being fed to us by the folks at Weather.com.

Conditions and Forecasts
Weather.com is also providing us with observation and forecast data for nearly 50,000 cities worldwide. The current conditions are updated at least hourly (more often in some places), and the forecasts get updated once every few hours.

Enjoy!
