Stress management tips give you skills to effectively deal with stress and take control. Life can be challenging sometimes! The bills might need paying, you may feel overworked and pressured with a to-do list as long as your arm, or family responsibilities or concerns over the economy may be weighing you down.

This is of course a topic that is on every ones mind these days. I especially found this interesting since being in the heating and air conditioning field we have to take every caution because you don't know if the person you are providing service to is infected.

A good synopsis of 20 Web 2.0 tools that can complement teaching.

There are definitely many teaching tools to choose from. This article just scratches the surface... Dawn

Love the description of all the items we are learning in class. This helped a lot in putting 2 and 2 together. Thank you for posting this. Kathy

This tool takes a bit of time to learn , but it makes eye catching animation. A good way to introduce a subject.

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.

Given the fluid nature over the past 15 months, it is good to see. Much like hmoore661, it appears to complement competency-based models.

@hmoore681 @ wfroese Thank you for visiting. ILCCO is organizing a meeting/training for the DL leaders in each institution to understand how that impacts what are doing in our current online programs.

I was taking a look at "free tech tools" and came across this video. Much of it not relevant in my teaching, as it is specifically designed for K-12 educators, but it does offer links to the various tools they mention. The link at the end to acquire the pdf with the various sites is still alive and active (as of 6/8/20).

Citation Generator Saves the Day I am really happy with https://www.citationmachine.net There maybe some missing information, but that is why we still need human intervention and robots will never take over.
