#TT1921 This presentation software tool would be beneficial to my online learning because of the inbuilt mechanism that uses motion, zoom, and spatial relationships to bring one's ideas to life. With time, after gaining the skills to use it, one can be a great presenter. Great presentation with content would improve students' understanding and learning experience!

I agree that as we continue, learning will become more interactive, using all types of tech tools to enable students not only to learn in the classroom, but as online learners also.

#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.

Great free alternatives to Skype that offer video calling, voice calling, messaging and file sharing services!

I never thought Snapchat would work in a classroom setting. I think it's time for me to stop being too old school and meet my students in the middle and allow them to enjoy my messages in whatever reasonable way that is necessary.

This helps. It gives a good path to how to use this teaching and learning tool.

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.

I really like the articles this site posts - very helpful for college professors in so many ways. They even host webinars.

This is an interesting article and shows how social media is being used in the accounting profession. It's hard to believe the past of that profession used to be tons of green ledger paper and physical filing cabinets.
