This a great (free) Pharmacology Open Education Resource (OER) for any nursing faculty. I have utilized this in my classes and my students have reported positive feedback on this resource. The e-book also has interactive case studies that I have implemented too. The same company is developing a Fundamentals nursing book (OER) that is set to launch later this summer.

Students hate discussion boards and mostly feel like they don't get anything out of them. They go into check box mode and real dialogue is lost. How can we fix them?

I used discussion board for 2 full semesters. I received feedback from my students in both ways: course reflection and my performance evaluation. The feedback was very positive. The assignment for the discussion boards would include an actual company with specific operations (inventory, quality, process design, etc.). Students were free to answer any questions and required provide a feedback to at least one of the classmates answer. Students felt connected to their classmates, shared different views, had an opportunity to learn from each other.

The title is a bit misleading but some of the recommendations discussed can definitely spark some life into DBs. DBs are a good way to foster engagement but unless properly done can mostly be seen by students as a one and done exercise.

Excellent resource for copyright free images, videos, and music

Thanks for the website Mark... I use a variety of images in my PowerPoints, so this is certainly a great resource...

Thank you for sharing. I used https://unsplash.com/ a lot. Now I will add it to my toolbox.

Great speaker, really relates through her experiences.

How one professor and students use twitter to drive class discussion participation

@hnoore681 Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to keep in mind of those who don't have an account, and those who don't want to have one. That's when UDL comes into play. I am also exploring https://grouptweet.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-to-managing-a-classroom-twitter-account-with-grouptweet.

@chreych I am always curious about this. Since twitter is free, if they do not have an account - can't we ask them to create one for use in the classroom?

This article gives insight to what is coming in education

Great article, Anne! Thanks for sharing. -Anne Bendik

Good article about how teaching during Covid has changed teaching as we know it in the future.

This article is titled, "5 Research-Backed Tips to Improve Your Online Teaching Presence," and it offers some great information.

A good, simple reminder for all of us. I particularly related to Points 3 and 4 -- clarity and feedback

Great ideas and templates for doing remote learning. Mostly for K-12, however it is easy to get inspired or adapt to college level.

This a great podcast of Grammar tips! And it is actually interesting!

Great lists of Web apps for the classroom - categorized!

Great tool for helping students to collaborate in curating resources on a group project!

Great free tool to get ALL students engaged in class! Saves answers online to allow graded attendance and participation too!

This is a great resource for free case studies.

I thought this was great! This semester I actually have a baseball theme for all my modules. Game 7 of the CWS!!! :)

This is a great resource for teaching physics at both the high school and college levels. There are also a lot of useful chemistry related topics.

Great augmented reality labs that can be used to practice in Anatomy. I've even made my own assignments by using the pictures from the assignments.

This is a great resource for chemistry teachers. In particular, I recommend the math skills area and the "Introduction to Stoichiometry" (Level 3, especially!).

This is a great overview web site for those teaching science (specifically chemistry). We will be using ChemCollective and PhET simulations this fall and are still reviewing others

This is a great blog for chemists and non-chemists alike!
