http://www.merlotx.org/ is the main site for the online textbooks of all different categories. The link above is for Literature but the merlotx.org site covers just about every subject. Merlot itself is a great resource but this subsection can be very useful.

A social Networking Tool that allows users to create polls and quizzes in an international setting via texting,twittering,and the web.

Audience response system that uses mobile phones, twitter, and the web. Responses are displayed in real-time on gorgeous charts in PowerPoint, Keynote, or web browser.

This was used in a class I took and I found it a fascinating tool to doing a poll or survey for a class. It allows students to use the tech that they generally already use to a great extent - such as responding by text from the phone using a code specific to that poll, responding via twitter, or on the PollEv.com site directly. I haven't integrated this yet into a class, but I can really see potential here after using it in a class

With CloudVOTE, you can upload, store and manage your personal or business presentation templates and never have to worry about the content again. No one can modify the content once it's stored as a template, so simply log in, start a poll from an existing template and collect feedback from your audience. ----Bookmark by M Brown for Technology Tools course march 2016

I don't even know what tumbler is! I better get back in the game...

#TT1921 (Beverly Bradley) Hi Tess and Margaret! I agree Margaret Tumblr is a great asset. I would also suggest Peergrade.

Role of social media in higher education

#TT1921 - I got a better insight into synchronous interaction though this article. I think it is worth reading. Synchronous learning refers to a learning event in which a group of students are engaging in learning at the same time. Before learning, technology allowed for synchronous learning environments, most online education took place through asynchronous learning methods. Since synchronous tools that can be used for education have become available, many people are turning to them as a way to help decrease the challenges associated with distance that occurs in online education.

A survey of literature regarding use of Twitter in the higher education classroom finds substantial support and good advice regarding its usefulness in pedagogy. More research is needed to determine if Twitter can affect active learning, class participation, and learning outcomes.

Lucidchart is a great mind-mapping tech tool that can be used for content creation, group work, asynchronous AND synchronous communication! If you're looking for an "elective" or any of the other categories I just mentioned to round out your "scrapbook," this is one you might want to check out!

This is good Article on the ways to use surveys in the classroom setting to assess, engage and monitor student development in the course

This article explains how synchronous communication techniques can effectively work to make graduate courses more relevant. It can also be used for the same purposes in an undergraduate course.

This is a 3 minute intro on what exactly Diigo is and how it can be used to help keep track of sources and information while researching and writing papers. This video helped me to better understand how Diggo can be used by individual learners. Very neat!

Recent article on using social media

TT1921 (M Oyeleye) Prof. Garrett, What a great article to read! I was intrigued with this question, which I have tweaked a bit - "How can we as educators make the best use of Twitter or Diigo to help connect our students with amazing, inspiring personalities in the various fields we teach"?. Please, I will be interested in any response or comment on this?

One of many good articles for this week's study. I especially liked the Facebook uses.

2018 research on the impact of cell phones and learning

Reaching agreement on the convenience of online classes is easy, but arguing in favor of a synchronous learning experience in a virtual classroom is harder. Debunking the top 10 myths about synchronous online teaching helps refute the arguments against it, while the transformational nature of online teaching can convert skeptics into supporters.

I can't believe that people still believe all these myths. However I have colleagues that still resist even limited technology in hybrid classes.

This can help anyone become more interested in science

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.

This is a short, quick checklist for social presence strategies

Linked resources of how to use universal design for development, procurement, and use of technology

Thanks for the great resource. I don't think we can ever have enough info on UDI, particularly how tech can support it.
