When it comes to trying something new or looking into more tools. i believe i would like to do more research to see what other online instructors are doing. in this case, i found a great website called, eLearning industry: www.elearningindustry.com. Here i can find articles written by online teaching professionals and for online teaching professionals. Also, the website is easy to navigate and always updated.

Recognizing the grave consequences for individual opportunity and more generally for our economy and society, the Carnegie Statway ™and Quantway ™Networked improvement Communities have embraced an audacious goal-to increase from 5 percent to 50 percent the percentage of students who achieve college math credit within one year of continuous enrollment. As a result of the Carnegie Advancement for Teaching (CAT) work, my college will undergo a pilot program for Fall 2012 where i will be the instructor to achieve college math credit within one year on continuous enrollment. The Pathways Blog provides information about Carnegie's work to create pathways for student success in developmental education in community colleges and makes connections between Carnegie's work and that of others concerned with student struggle. Even though i follow the pathways blog, there are several more blogs from the foundation and are listed blow:

Mostly about High School but i think still pertinent.

This is an interesting article about 8th graders. it applies also to most of high school students also, but i believe that mature adults can use it as a useful tool that enhances education. For many it is nothing more than an escape from the duties of the real world. i have found it to be both "All about me" and informative. Social media does need to be taught in the classroom if it's going to used.

There is a nice section listing some positive and negative aspects of Twitter that some may find useful along with some ideas of ways to incorporate it into educational settings.

I referenced thIs artIcle In my DIscussIon post, but It's such a good one that I wanted It to be avaIlable here as well.

Simple and free, Jing is the perfect way to enhance your fast-paced online conversations.

I trIed JIng only a couple of weeks back and I have already made over 40 vIdeos for use In my classes.

I was referred to thIs product by a colleague and It Is really easy to use. I use It to record vIdeo solutIons for my math revIew. JIng also works wIth CamtasIa, whIch allows you to edIt your JIng vIdeos, as well as convert them Into other medIa types such as mp4.

Art Daily Tweet (REUTERS/Stefan Wermuth) http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=44618&int_modo=1 High resolution images of famous art work will be available on you laptop! Google has partnered with museums like MoMa- NYC, Freer Gallery of Art- Washington D.C. , Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid - Spain, Museum Kampa, Prague - Czech Republic, National Gallery, London - UK, Palace of Versailles - France, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam - The Netherlands, The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg - Russia, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow - Russia, Tate Britain, London - UK * Uffizi Gallery, Florence - italy and the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam - The Netherlands. The site features over 1000 images, virtual gallery tours and something called Street View where "users can move around galleries virtually, selecting works of art that interest them and clicking to discover more or diving into the high resolution images, where available." Users can also use the Create and Artwork feature where they can save view of artwork they enjoy and build a collection of their own. i have been to MoMa, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam and the Freer Gallery of Art- Washington D.C s i would like to see how these collections are represented and how this new Google tool works.

I thInk thIs Is a great sIte. You can make study aIds and share them wIth the students, students can make thIer own based on what they need to study--then share them wIth each other, or you can just use the sIte for personal enjoyment by makeIng flash cards for...oh, say, studyIng LatIn (reason I orIgInally bookmarked the sIte).

New York Times technology blogs are located here. The articles are very current. i (as a teacher) will probably benefit from these sites as much as my students. i plan on posting the YouTube "Blogs in Education" video along with these blogs, because the video gives a good description, application and history of blogs.

I love thIs publIcatIon on how to facIlItate a dIscussIon board. It Is easy to read and just has a TON of tIdbIts on how do run a good dIscussIon board In your onlIne class. I refer to It often. It Is a lIttle old, so as I recall, there mIght be a few lInks wIthIn the document that are broken, but there Is a lot of content, so you won't mIss It probably.

Thanks for sharing this Christina, Working on facilitating a discussion next week and i found it helpful.

# TT1921 Creating a presentation on "Cheating", and i was appalled at the stats i discovered. https://oedb.org/ilibrarian/8-astonishing-stats-on-academic-cheating/

I need to check these out. I am not famIlIar wIth all of them.

Most of us are working at full capacity, and keeping up with technology can feel like one more chore on the to-do list. Still, learning your way around a few of the best Web tools is worth your time. innovative teachers are frequently using intuitive programs and websites that are easy to learn. #TT1721

Even just in this assignment, i feel like i am getting bombarded with information from Tumblr, Twitter, Diigo in addition to what we get in e mails, texts, Facebook and Nexflix, etc. Whew. So much reading- so little time and energy.

Khan academy has free videos on Youtube on a variety of anatomy and physiology subjects and pathophysiology. it's a great way to review the basics with the nursing students with high quality videos/lectures from Khan academy. it's free and i get a lot of positive feedback from the students.

Loretta-Thanks for the reminder about using Khan Academy videos in nursing courses and that they are free. i have to admit i forgot about this site. i too often use videos from You Tube (Nurse Sarah) to help students reinforce their learning. Thanks-Pat

Excellent resource for copyright free images, videos, and music

Thanks for the website Mark... i use a variety of images in my PowerPoints, so this is certainly a great resource...

Thank you for sharing. i used https://unsplash.com/ a lot. Now i will add it to my toolbox.

I just found thIs websIte and I belIeve I could utIlIze thIs In the CIsco courses that I teach.

Whoo Hoo! I made It In. I feel lIke I belong to somethIng! All kIddIng asIde, thIs lIst descrIbes the characterIstIcs we need to be successful onlIne learners and what qualItIes our students need to remaIn successful In our classes. LIke the facIlItator, the onlIne student possesses unIque qualItIes. The onlIne students of today consIst prImarIly of workIng people who are tryIng to better theIr opportunItIes. ThIs however Is changIng, as more and more young and older people become aware of the onlIne model.

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.

Create custom posters, flyers and social media graphics. Huge selection of templates, easy to use tools. Free downloads and quality prints. i like this site because i often like to be creative in my classroom and i like to create poster are graphical images to impress my students.

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.

Given the harsh criticisms that social networks commonly face when it comes to their use by teenagers, i thought it would be useful to post this newspaper piece that presents the opposite argument: Social media might be usually considered to be just places of the lurking danger of real-life social isolation (among more gruesome dangers in this context), but they could also be seen as places where a teenager can be inventive, discover aptitudes and of course develop his/her social skills. Also, it discusses research which shows that teenagers are more often than not well aware of the dangers that lie behind the (ab)use of social media.

Hmmm, should I share thIs wIth my teenage son?

Good article, though i am still sceptical!
