Thanks Newman, this is great. Something to keep in mind for students and faculty wanting to publish to iTunes University as well. I have seen several podcasts with blacked out scenes because there wasn't permission to show the content or images that was being presented.
Pretty good presentation of how to use Google Apps for Education. While, this is focused on a K-12 audience, it could certainly be relevant to nurse educators. Journaling, surveys, E-portfolios can all be done with Google applications for free!
On the Journal's beta site, we pursue new ideas in publishing and showcase innovative ways to present information for use in medical education, research, and clinical practice. This beta site is part of our commitment to physicians who "Never Stop Learning". Please check back often.
"I start with a brief explanation of the next concept or topic. I then present the students with a short puzzle or problem incorporating this concept. The students discuss the problem in small groups of 2-4, and then vote using polling hardware or "clickers" similar to TV remotes. After everyone has voted, the results appear on the screen at the front of the class. A well-chosen problem is one for which about 70% of the students get the right answer"
Faculty explains using the 'Peer Instruction' technique promoted by Eric Mazur of Harvard. The technique uses clickers to facilitate active learning in large classes.

Let us know how it turns out!
