Quicksilver

Sometimes we want our students to be able to REALLY see a message. Quicksilver can help us do that. Look at this image. See how the word 'quicksilver' really pops out at you?

Want to see how to do this?


The following video explains how to download and set up Quicksilver so you can create those large easy to read messages on your screen, too. Although there are many other uses for Quicksilver, this post discusses the 'large type' effect you see in the images here.

You can download Quicksilver from www.blacktree.com or just Google "Quicksilver for Mac". It will be the first or second hit. Download and set it up as shown in the video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
