    My students hate writing, especially in math. To create a happy medium I decided to integrate the use of micro-blogging into my classroom to motivate my students to begin to at least use mathematical language in class.

    Video Everywhere is a new technology tool that I am exploring as a way to introduce video into my online classes. I plan to use this tool to introduce my students to each module in my online classes. Video Everywhere recordings benefit all students who need repetitive review of material and feedback. Video assists deaf students as well by allowing them to record and share sign language. Video Everywhere helps students who are enrolled in classes that are taught in non-native languages, giving them exposure to vocabulary and pronunciation according to their Web Site. I am looking forward to incorporating this tool into my classes.

    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 agree we need to improve discussion boards. I like smaller groups. I have also found in my courses that the students usually are more engaged when I am engaged with them first.

    I also struggle keeping students engaged in discussion boards. I think allowing them some autonomy on choosing their selected topic and/or allowing the post to be completed in various ways helps.

    The article title made me do a double-take! The links for article that provide more direction for improving discussion boards are great! Discussion boards can be so useful, but if not done properly can definitely lead to frustration and/or poor quality of postings by students. Examples and rubrics really help to clarify expectations. I would love to find a way to create a discussion board that helps students feel more connected to me and their peers.

    Glad you all got some use from it. It's a sensationalistic title, but it's something I thought about often as a student. We don't discuss in discussion boards - we write polite, well cited essays and respond to other essays. I'm definitely in favor of rethinking how we do student engagement - discussion boards really could be wonderful, but in most of my experiences as a student they were really lack luster. As an instructor, I'm not sure mine are really much better! I keep tinkering trying to do better.

    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.

    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.

    Greetings all! I choose this url because I had to many windows open to do anything else. I have this all together now, I think. My correct blog name is rmichellewalton.wordpress.com I am now seeing how important technology is to education. This has truly been a teachable moment for me. As I become more and more familiar with technology, I will begin to gradually incorporate it into my classes. Twitter for Academia has opened my eyes to another way to facilitate the educational process. This is a great article. Here's the url. http://academhack.outsidethetext.com/home/2008/twitter-for-academia/

    This is my fear. Yes, libraries use social media but does anyone care? Like anything, good use of social media requires thought and planning.

    This is a link to a wiki where people can prove that 0.9999999 is equivalent to 1. This qualifies as a wiki because anyone can edit the page (the earliest entry I found was from 2008.) I like this wiki because it shows many ways to prove the two values are equivalent. Some of the proofs are rather simple and can be understood by students in an beginning or intermediate algebra class. I would use this wiki in my teaching by asking students if they agree with the proofs and to come up with their own proofs for the values.

    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.
