I created this webpage for an in-service I presented to my colleagues at a faculty development day. It offers several simple ways to integrate technology into lessons, with a focus on revivifying those lessons we get tired of teaching over and over. I hope you may find it useful!
Hi colleagues,
Here is a free real-time questioning and data visualization service that is basically like clickers except with cell phones. As long as everyone in the room has a cell phone, this could be used. Or, if some students in a class don't have cell phones, small groups could be formed each with at least one phone to use.

This is a really neat tool for lecturing online. Basically pretty low-tech but with a super futuristic look. And the media team is hilarious, of course.

The particular workshop recording that interests me is the one on using peer review options for online teaching. This is something I'm trying to incorporate more of, and it was helpful to hear about how other teachers incorporate it into their courses!
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.
