Watch the YouTube video that describes this site. I am excited about the possibilities of creating a quiz for online students--there are 3 different option of types of quizzes.

Visit BBC News for up-to-the-minute news, breaking news, video, audio and feature stories. BBC News provides trusted World and UK news as well as local and regional perspectives. Also entertainment, business, science, technology and health news. Many videos of current events on this site that could be used in online learning

The MIT Video website aggregates and curates video produced by the Institute's offices, laboratories, centers and administration. This includes feature and editorial videos, event recordings, academic content and more. I learned about this site from my Living Book report by Curtis Bonk. Excellent resource for finding videos on a variety of topics.

CNN videos has a number of interesting educational videos including the one I highlighted on babies and how they are wired.

Share this one with your students! Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.

Free mind mapping site. Watch the tutorial. Appears similar to bubble.us except that you can create slides from your mindmap!

Very cool site for drawing diagrams, flow charts that can be shared or saved for presentations. Watch the demo!

Prezi is a cloud based presentation software that opens up a new world between whiteboards and slides. The zoomable canvas makes it fun to explore ideas and the connections between them. The result: visually captivating presentations that lead your audience down a path of discovery. I have been using prezi for the past 3 years and with each update there is a shorter learning curve. More creative than power point presentations. MOT students who are more "right" brained and more global than linear in their thinking and learning seem to embrace the prezi format.

Glogster can be shared by students on a wiki for online learning

Excellent resource for students learning to write a PICO question. Thought this could come up in online research-related courses. The example is directly related to the dental population, but easy to follow.

27 videos by Curtis Bonk on the topic of how to teach online. Each is approximately 8-10 mins. Three of my favorites that I "captured" are #24-Global Connections & Collaborations, #19- Wiki Uses & Applications, #13-Blended Learning: The Future.

Crossword puzzles can be created and uploaded for online learners and are an excellent method for learning educational content and spelling of terms, etc.

The website allows students to create an avatar that represents their personality by choosing hair style/color, skin color, clothing and accessories. The site is a fun and unique way to ask students to introduce themselves. I noticed that one student in this class used an avatar for her profile picture. I just went on the site, set up an account and created an avatar. We used these in Jenny Fogo's class and then wrote a description of ourselves which we posted as our introduction!

Welcome to a post that examines an amazing free collections of educational digital interactive programs and apps. You are sure to find something that will fit your classroom in the very near future...

Brainstorm online with bubbl.us. Easily create colorful mind maps to print or share with others. Almost no learning curve. Businesses, universities, and other schools are using bubbl.us worldwide to generate ideas, map out processes and create presentations. I have used this site with my MOT students at UIndy when they return from analyzing workers at Costco. We consolidate their responses on this site, i.e., we use a different bubble to represent each dept. at Costco, i.e., Membership, Scanning, Tire Center, Bakery and Meat Dept. I imagine that it would be extremely effective for any "brainstorming" session that you might want to complete as an online exercise. I'm wondering whether it can be used in conjunction with Adobe Connect?

Merlot Collection made up of 40,000 materials in 19 different material type categories. Materials are submitted by members of MERLOT community. Membership is free. I just signed up as adjunct faculty member and this appears to be an excellent resource for online teaching and learning. I recall being exposed to it in Julie Gahimer's course on Instructional Design & Delivery, but have neglected to use it.
