    This search tool is wonderful! It allows the clinican to input patient data and search most likely diagnosis as well as providing red flags on questions and conditions which must be considered. It is a valuable tool to improve clinical decision making,

    NoodleTools is my favorite tech tool for teaching my composition students how to document and cite their sources. It doesn't just make the citations for them. It also teaches them about the different types of sources.

    I hear complaints about the poor quality of student writing today as often as I read stories about the Internet causing the end of higher education as we know it (i.e., frequently). When those complaints come in the form of actual conversations with peers, instead of in print, I feel myself immediately put on the defensive.
  •  
    Thanks for this post Heather. I liked that the instructor recognized that despite some challenges with using a new technique to promote his students' writing skills the energy that was expressed by his students far outweighed the "mess" that he dealt with the first time trying something new.

    The lack of learning transfer is a common mantra in higher education. It's a good article for reflection. Although I've been a proponent of service learning, at the same time, I wasn't sure how students could or if they would transfer their experiences to the academic component. Now, I need to rethink my position on service learning and its impact on connected learning

    Great easy to use.

    I was amazed at how intuitive and easy this tool is to use to create quizzes. I had spent hours creating a PowerPoint quiz, and minutes to create the same quiz using this tool. Plus I had much more flexibility in kinds of questions I created--and I can gather feedback any time I want to. There is a free trial version of this tool, and then one must purchase the rights to use the tool. Try it!

    You can develop your own questions, use their test bank, or import your existing quizzes. You can select the order of the questions, indicate scores for passing, will show you their score at the completion of the quiz and reveal the correct answer to the questions. Very easy to follow. Almost no learning curve. I would definitely use this in an online class to assess students understanding of concepts covered. I would offer it either as a review or as a quiz itself.

    There are benefits to newsrooms using solutions-based journalism, but it is not a cure-all for audience engagement. Read more -> The Engaging News Project provides news organizations research-based techniques for engaging digital audiences in commercially viable and democratically beneficial ways. I like this site to share with my students because they learn about new ways to learn about the new happening in major fields. My course is a research course, and I want my students to explore more things in there field. What ever it is that they want to be, this will give them an opportunity to learn about the new trends.

    Product blurb: Looking for fast and easy mailing lists? Get stylish, effective results in 5 minutes or less. Personal experience: I have found these posters to be great for interactive review materials and enrichment. It's a quick way to organize anything you can post using Google Docs (so Google Forms (quizzes), Slides, etc...), websites, images, YouTube videos, etc... and the first 5 or so posters are free. The best part is it is very user-friendly. I highly recommend trying it out!

Cheating Reduction Strategies - Pedagogical Repository - 0 views

  •  
    This article describes five different types of online cheating - plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, misrepresentation, and misbehavior. This article then goes in to three areas - Policing, Prevention, and Virtue Integration. For each of these topics there are multiple bullet points listed which help provide guidance and possible solutions to the issues. This is a very valuable link and I have bookmarked it as a future resource for reference.

Teaching Strategies that Enhance Higher-Order Thinking - 6 views

  •  
    The article seems more relevant for K-12 although it may be used to enlighten educators who continue to embrace the sage on the stage methodology of teaching.
  •  
    Great article! While reading the article I immediately thought about how young children are taught to memorize the ABC's and numbers through rote learning. Young children actively engaged with letters and numbers using concrete objects to guide them in their learning results in higher-order thinking.
