This essay describes some of the most cost-effective and appropriate ways to use computers, video, and telecommunications technologies to advance the Seven Principles.

by Arthur W. Chickering and Stephen C. Ehrmann "Since the Seven Principles of Good Practice were created in 1987, new communication and information technologies have become major resources for teaching and learning in higher education. If the power of the new technologies is to be fully realized, they should be employed in ways consistent with the Seven Principles. Such technologies are tools with multiple capabilities; it is misleading to make assertions like "Microcomputers will empower students" because that is only one way in which computers might be used." This article originally appeared in print as: Chickering, Arthur and Stephen C. Ehrmann (1996), "Implementing the Seven Principles: Technology as Lever," AAHE Bulletin, October, pp. 3-6.

This is an interesting read for anyone who teaches Second Language Speakers. :)

A great read on the acts of great teachers! I thought most of this list spoke to how we could create immediacy in the classroom.

While several federal laws address web accessibility, the most widely adopted and comprehensive technical standards have emerged not from a law, but from the W3C Web Content Accessibility Group. The WCAG standard is the most detailed, up-to-date guideline for creating accessible web content.

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!

Here's a free PowerPoint template I built for a recent workshop. I used it to show how to create interactive conversations in PowerPoint using hyperlinks.

One of my colleagues likes to create a "Wall" for major topics in his course such as the Cold War. This takes the places of a conventional classroom bulletin board where instructor and students can post photos and web sites and their own work.

There are a couple of different programs from this vendor that will allow you to capture a screen demonstration with or without an audio track, and then create an avi output file that you can publish (see autoscreenrecorder). Also, some snapshot captures and animators.

Cautions about medical use of Social Media.

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.

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).
