Apps for communicating with students and their families Enjoy!

Nice study of how higher ed faculty view social media in and outside of class. Easy to read comparison charts. Study does include video and podcasts as social media on top of networking sites.

This blog shares a ton of useful teaching tools and discusses how to leverage new technology to enhance learning.

How timely! The NY Times is seeking input from educators on how smartphones have added or detracted from their classrooms in an occasional special report series called "Learning". While it's for high schools, I'm certain that community college faculty could share input.

This resource is a place to share assessments, lesson plans, activities, and other tools for teaching information literacy concepts in higher education settings. There are a lot of ideas on how to use technology in our teaching.

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

Yes, there are a ton of great ed-tech tools out there, but which ones should you be adopting for your classroom? This article gave me some great ideas.

Ranzie, Thank you for sharing this. Loved it. I am still learning about much of this content and how it can be utilized in my classroom

In the ever-changing field of education technology, it's important to stay up-to-date on industry happenings, and it's even more important to understand current news in context. That's where the Dean's List comes in handy: It reintroduces higher ed stakeholders to a group of education technology thought leaders who share not-to-be-missed analyses of higher ed technology trends, challenges and opportunities.

Educators may feel sometimes like they're on an island with little help in sight. But as technology teaching resources go, it may encourage you to learn that there are a number of online solutions available to help promote education from teaching reading basics to organizing classroom activities and encouraging civic involvement.

This was a great article! Many of the technology tools that were listed are going to be on my list of things to try! Thanks for the read, Ranzie

20 of the most promising new apps, websites and online education technology tools or services every teacher should be using to help improve classroom learning:

A nice explanation of how to save a bookmark!

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.

Clarity is provided on definitions of "regular and substantive interaction" in distance education - These new requirements take effect July 1, 2021.

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.

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.

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

With the advance of web 2.0 technologies, there emerged a wide range of educational tools that we can use with our students in and outside the classroom.Collaborative web tools is one example. Using such websites, teachers will be able to help in holding online and real-time discussions with their students, help them in their projects and assignments, guide their learning, do back-channeling, and synchronously moderate discussion threads and many more. We have prepared for you a list of such tools that you can use with your students, check it and share with us what you think about it.

Thanks for sharing this article. I think more instructors will need this information since the sudden move to remote learning due to the pandemic. Great information! #TT2041

Many regard Twitter as quite a useless social media sharing portal. Some have this negative opinion, mainly because of the fact Twitter allows you to "tweet" or post only 140 characters in length. This length equals the text of a regular SMS, and for some this is simply not enough.

I found a good list of how one teacher uses Twitter in the classroom. Personally, I love the idea of a hashtag for a specific class.
