This library was developed for the teachers and support personnel of Durant Independent School District. The library consists of video demonstrations to guide you through many of our commonly used applications, as well as links to other tutorials for tools in your classroom. Most tutorials are in video format and can be downloaded as a podcast to view on your computer, ipod, or other digital media player. Most tutorials are less than five minutes and will give you a quick “how-to”.


You may listen to or view a podcast by clicking the title of the podcast then using the buttons below the screenshot to play, pause, rewind or fast-forward though the demonstration. You may also subscribe to a particular category by clicking the subscribe button.



By subscribing to a podcast, new podcasts in the category you chose will be instantly downloaded to iTunes. Once in iTunes, you can view the video in full screen mode or download it to your iPod for later viewing. It is recommended that you subscribe to all of the DISD Podcasts in order to stay up to date on the newest tutorials being added to the Professional Development Library.
