Great stuff on Web 2.0 technology and social networking tools especially twitter!

Good tool for your Blackboard Course / eLearning students to create profile avatars

Many faculty use EndNote... but did you know about Zotero or CiteULike? These tools might offer more features for you and your students.

This is a great resource. i just sent it out to my graduate students. Some of the critical care journals require MLA style and we have been looking for a software that can help us manage references. I was delighted to see all of the different reference styles supported by some of the software.

A must read for the first time online teacher

Another example of using Jing, a previous iNET featured tool, to give student feedback. Jing is a free and simple to use screenrecording application, which is perfect for recording short 'screencasts', tutorials, instructions, and annoucements.

I did similar screen casts when I taught graphic design. It was so much better than textually critiquing something very visual...and it took less time. The students liked the video because it helped them "See" the things they could improve upon and they liked hearing the tone of the voice which helped eliminate any misinterpretations of the critique...meaning I wasn't out to get them.

I agree! Mobile Learning is coming and it should be - has the potential to be so much more than improved access. it can be more than simply having access to recorded lectures in your car or on the bus via an iPod. I'm optimistic about the use of twitter and mobile devices to extend the classroom experience and improve communication. But I think we can do more. These mobile devices ( smart phones, Blackberry, iPad) are powerful computers in their own right. Perhaps we should start looking for and bookmarking mobile learning initiatives.

Absolutely. And as luck would have it, some folks on the IT list forum I am a part of have posted some. I'll log in and take a look. I am excited about the portability of information and would love to see such devices invited into the classroom for the purpose of learning instead of just seeing them turned off. When you think about it, mobile devices are pretty powerful mini computers networked to global information that could be, and should be harnessed. The power of google at my fingertips, whenever I need it.

A good introduction video with many examples and uses. From the description: An overview of educational uses of Second Life including educational locations, tools, and learning archetypes that are applicable to Second Life.

A nice wiki with information about social bookmarking

Import a list of Questions / Answers (or front and back) for flashcards and then print them out. Instrutors could make these available for students. Or, student could make them available for each other.

I really like the use of flashcards especially for undergraduate students. An assignment can be designed in which each student is to do one flashcard for each lecture. As a faculty member, I can collect all of the flash cards and utilize them in class as a learning tool with students.
