An interesting blog about nursing

Looks like a blog for us! "The education of nurses by a nurse educator. Focus on the use of technology in nursing education."

Great place to start with Jing.

ISTE requires membership but did listen to the free webinar on digital story telling which i am currently using in the graduate level nursing theory course. Students are assigned to do a 3-5 minute digital story using a nursing theorist. These are due in April, so I'll send you the link once they are completed, i am hoping that they will use quicktime so that i can link the stories into Second life.

A guide for becoming a better screencaster. IMHO, screencasting is what professors are doing when they record a lecture for students. This may help improve the quality of those 'recorded lectures'

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.

This is the help section of the Wiki software embedded in Blackboard. It has some clear explanation of how and why to use wikis (and blogs) in the classroom. Plus some case studies.
