A list of free High school MOOC AP courses.

This is a link to the program for "Flat Classroom teacher certification" (2 credits through UNI).

This link is more about providing information on training that is available for teachers that want to become flat classroom certified rather than direct information that could be used by a teacher in the classroom. This makes the information contained in this resource exclusively for teacher use for possible teacher development. I know that the AEA 267 website http://www.aea267.k12.ia.us/pd/ has listings of teacher development courses but I did not see one anywhere else on flat classrooms. This course is one that I might consider taking in the future.

Jim O'Loughlin's (of the UNI Department of Languages and Literatures) Electronic Literature class homepage. Electronic literature seems to combine technology with traditional literature and reading. This type of literature could be very revolutionary in terms of bringing new interactions into the reading experience. It also has the potential for use in a 1:1 classroom.

This e-learning blog has many resources for students of different ages, web-based teaching, and instructional design tips. Readers can download templates and get tips on video, audio, and graphics.

This is a good resource that teachers can use to help guide them in any eLearning courses they may have to prepare. I will use this if I have to create such a course.

Step by step for exporting an InDesign document to the epub (iBook) format. Create your own epub with InDesign, also includes some tips and tricks.

I liked this bookmark because I have no experience working with InDesign and Terry White explains the content to address a broad audience; even I could follow along and understand! I actually created a 30+ page review last spring using Photoshop... if I could only get some of that time back...

There is no getting back any time that the Photoshop black-hole has taken from the unknowing slaves to it's awesomeness. : ) Sorry I couldn't resist, as a Photoshop instructor and connoisseur I have lost many a lifetime to Photoshop and it's mysterious ways.

This is Ann S. Michaelson's blog, Teaching English using web 2.0. In Ann's blog, she talks about incorporating Web 2.0 tools and applications with students in her International English class. There are great posts about how to use different applications, such as blogs and WebNote, as well as ideas for 1:1 classroom activities. As a future English teacher, I am always interested in learning new ways to use Web 2.0 in my classroom. In addition to presenting different tools, Ann also considers how to teach English as a second language.

I really like this blog. I really like her ideas about incorporating web 2.0 into an ESL classroom. Whether it be ESL or just a traditional English classroom, I think that using web 2.0 is a promising way to engage students in learning English.

I like the web 2.0 tools Michaelson introduced in her blog such as Webnotes, Timeline and he vocabulary builder VocabAhead. The webnotes is kind like a combination of google document, google reader and diigo.I think it's convenient for both teachers and students to get useful resources, organize and share them. Although the free version limit the functions, it is still worth trying. The timeline tools is a good one can be used in history course. Using timeline to display flow chart in powerpoint is also a good choice. I like VocabAhead best. It explains words by using image, voice and example sentence. Thus, it makes students much easier to understand a new word and know how to apply in real situation. I think it's a good tool can be used in English class. Thanks for sharing the blog to us.

vedio resources of educational ideas.

TED is an educational website that promotes "ideas worth spreading" it the site challenges the minds of education and technology.

I have watched a video clip from this site in a college level course. As a college instructor, there would be many technology related videos that I could use in the classroom as a springboard for discussions. It also would be interesting for students.
