At first, being inspired by our own struggles, we discussed basing our project on Google Hangout itself. Then I suggested using a cool tool that I have not got to use as much as I would have liked to, called Edcanvas. We discussed using Jing, Snagit, Camtasia, Captivate and Edcanvas itself to create the tutorial.
