How to make animated Powerpoints
Most of my videos are simply narrated Powerpoints. I make a Powerpoint that covers the necessary content and then I make a video of me going through the Powerpoint recording me while I teach. If you use Powerpoint as the basis of your videos, it is very helpful if you use custom animations so your bullet points come in one at a time. Below you will find a link to a video that will show you how to make animated Powerpoints.

How to edit videos using Windows Movie Maker
After you have made videos you may need to edit them, or update them. Using Windows Movie Maker (a free program) you can edit your videos. You can remove sections, you can join two videos together, or you can remove a section of an existing video; record a new section and put that into your original video. Very useful tool. Below you will find links to two videos that will show you how to do all that using Windows Movie Maker

How to make online self-grading quizzes using Google Forms and Flubaroo
After students have watched a video I find it important that they take some sort of assessment so I can see what they have learned from the video. I use Google Forms to give online quizzes that automatically grade themselves to quickly assess what my students learned from my videos. Below you will find links to videos that show you how to make online quizzes using Google Forms and how to make those quizzes grade themselves using Flubaroo.
