download problems of the month For a high school math teacher, or anyone that likes to solve math problems, this was a fun place to find. i might give some of my honors level juniors a few of these as class openers or closers.

I found thIs artIcle relatIng to usIng technology In the classroom whIle workIng on the SurveyMonkey AssIgnment.

Sustained, high-quality student participation usually doesn't happen on its own in the online learning environment. The instructor needs to model participation, create assignments that encourage it, and foster an environment that supports it. Here are some ways that i promote student participation in my online courses.

Really interested in how to use twitter for education and keeping it's use in a professional manner :-)

It seems the page has moved, I am gettIng Error 404

Excellent FREE site for math and sciences. All grade levels. Short video clips using a blackboard with verbal direction. Great depth of content available. Would be helpful to post on course site, saving you from creating the videos.

Thank you for sharing this link. i just heard about these free videos yesterday and was quite impressed and curious about them. i'd like to find a similar great resource for my discipline of accounting.

From kindergarten to calculus, Khan Academy is here to help. You may have heard about our videos, but did you know that Khan Academy has fun interactive math exercises that cover skills ranging from counting to calculus, grade by grade? Every exercise has step-by-step hints, so your child can practice as much as needed.

The Internet Scout Report Is a weekly newsletter of sorts that shares some excellent Internet resources that can be used In teachIng (subscrIbe for free). Every week, I fInd myself forwardIng at least two or three resources to our faculty, and the response has been very posItIve.

East to learn

For anyone in education including teachers, students, parents, librarians, schools, and universities. Featuring Wikispaces Classroom and Wikispaces Campus. https://cooper-socialwork.wikispaces.com i like this as a means to have a place for the students in that semester's class so they can access this discussed. Contemplating letting students have access through the subsequent semester, as well.

Blackboard publishes the most current service availability in table form. i love this idea and wish D2L had something similar. it's nice to be able to go there and say to a student or instructor having trouble, oh, yes, there are some status issues with that software.

According to ACTFL, foreign language learners need as much as 240+ hours of input to reach an intermediate level of proficiency. i'm looking into ways to use Twitter together with other applications like Feedly to encourage students to become autonomous learners and get more input from authentic francophone listening and reading sources. i can help them navigate through the sea of information available by sending them my suggested feeds and then practice using the target language by discussing topics together. Feedly is used to create a personal list of RSS feeds to favorite online news, video, audio and learning sources and save, publish and/or share them with others via an RSS reader application or even Twitter.

CourseSites by Blackboard is a free learning management system for K12 and Higher Ed instructors enabling blended & eLearning. i have used this tool a few times before. This is great because it is exactly like BlackBoard. With CourseSites you can do trial and error, and it's ok because students will not see it. Also, CourseSites allow you to add students, if you do not have BlackBoard or any other online learning site that your campus offers.

I have been hearIng a lot about Tableau and how It Is beIng used In accountIng. ThIs Is a lInk to the websIte where you can fInd out about thIs great software. Students are elIgIble for a one-year free access.

What a great way to be able to asynchronously poll students and still allow them to remain anonymous. This also gives students to see how well their knowledge compares to other students. it also allows them to see if their way of thinking is similar to other students.
