a professor uses twitter in the classroom to encourage class participation

Here is a four minute youtube video on information literacy. Music is a bit overdone, but the message is important.

Video of professor discussing how he uses audio feedback for his online course

Just a thought about how to use Skype in the classroom.

So this has nothing to do with Tech Tools but through my frustrations to get all of this to coalesce on Diigo for the assignment, I stumbled upon a funny video, enjoy!

7 out of 10 college students start their research with Wikipedia according to Project InfoLit's interviews. There's a disconnect between the handouts and faculty advice in my previous post and what students actually do. How can we use some of the tech tools discussed here to reconnect?

This first of two videos shows what college faculty handouts for research projects do and don't include to assist students with their research.

I found this video when teaching a class on creativity. It is a bit long but very enjoyable if you have the time.

I provided this link when I started up my Diigo account but now I cannot find it. Here it is again, for fans of Sir Ken Robinson!

I enjoyed this video. It was very helpful in learning to organize my electronic life.

This is a fun site that you can use to create a cartoon. I have used this for my teach back and it has received great reviews. Takes some time to get acquainted with it. But for those that likes a creative side of presentation, here it is.

Probably a site most have heard of before, but well worth the look if you haven't. Basically, it's one man who sits at his computer with a slate and narrates videos explaining an idea/technique as demonstrated on a simple whiteboard. He's recorded a large compilation of these videos from a variety of fields in math and science. "The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) with the mission of providing a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Despite being the work of one man, Salman Khan, this 2100+ video library is the most-used educational video resource as measured by YouTube video views per day and unique users per month."

A thought-provoking video-clip on how students feel about their education experience

I have seen this video before and had a lot of thought provoking discussions with colleagues!

This video discusses the origins of, history, types and reasons for using blogs. Very informative

Lee Keller asks Kim Cavanaugh about using blogs in education

Discussion boards. Google documents. YouTube videos. TED Talks. Khan Academy. These are just a few of the many resources some of us have used in our ever-growing arsenal of techie tools. We want to stay on the cutting edge. The Sloan Consortium (now Online Learning Consortium) predicts this trend toward an increased usage of technology will continue into the foreseeable future.

Social networking communities are here to stay. Facebook has over 500 million users, while Twitter has over 200 million. That's not even counting blogs or YouTube video blogs. There's no doubt that students are actively engaged in online communities, but what kind of effects are these sites having and how can parents counteract the bad and bolster the positive?

Khan Academy has great ready made videos for A&P students needing additional support in their studies. I highly recommend their content and videos.

Video to share with students for a reminder of basic privacy awareness

I am a maker! This video shows the Morse Code generator/trainer that I created as an introductory Arduino project. I used the Elego Super Starter Kit which goes for about $30 right now on Amazon. I used three tutorials for the bits and pieces: Green LED; Push Button; 1602 LCD Module. I then wrote C code to write the Arduino sketch that makes it all work together. I am looking forward to making more and more fun electronics video in the future. But what to make next?

Hi Brad, What a fun project! This looks like a great way to motivate students to apply what they're learning.

Thanks! I'd like to think it'd be at least a little something different for them to try.
