I once heard class discussions described as "transient instructional events." They pass through the class, the course, and the educational experiences of students with few lingering effects. Ideas are batted around, often with forced participation; students don't take notes; and then the discussion ends-it runs out of steam or the class runs out of time. If asked a few days later about the exchange, most students would be hard-pressed to remember anything beyond what they themselves might have said, if that.

"Draftback is a Chrome extension that indexes the revision history of a document then allows you to watch a video of the doc being created.  You can watch as a document goes from a blank page to the final version that was submitted for a grade.  This is helpful on two fronts: 1. Clicking the document graph and statistics will show you exactly how much time each student spent creating the file.  This makes it very easy to see who participated in a group assignment. 2. Think a student plagiarized something?  You can watch to see if large portions of text were pasted onto the document from an outside source.  This is a great way to keep the student's honest."

"Cite This For Me is one of the most popular citation tools today. Launched in October 2010, we began with the mission of helping students create perfect citations in a fraction of the time. Citing isn't something you usually think about, but it's important nonetheless. Without even realizing it, you do it already in your everyday life in little ways. Have you ever said, "I heard on XYZ News that . . . ," or "I read in XYZ that those two celebrities are dating," or even "Mom said that you can't do that." By saying where you got your information, you are casually citing a source."
