This article talks about Google Body, a 3-D model of human anatomy that is available free online through Google. It's pretty neat. Certainly an inexpensive way for students to explore anatomy at their own pace.

I downloaded the Google Chrome Beta Browser that this works on. It's pretty neat! Here's a link to a screencapture of what I saw. (note there is no sound) http://www.screencast.com/users/mfbarzee/folders/Jing/media/36878a55-8c0f-4ae7-8457-0469674a490b

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!

More about the Google Body Browser, including the author's take on why it is a good patient education tool. I like the idea that there could be overlays that demonstrate particular diseases or conditions and that it could someday be linked to an electronic health record.

ABSTRACT This paper reports the findings of a case study in which audio feedback replaced text-based feedback in asynchronous courses. Previous research has demonstrated that participants in online courses can build effective learning communities through text based communication alone. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that instructors for online courses can adequately project immediacy behaviors using textbased communication.

More ideas for using a Flip cam (Pocket Video Camera) in your class

Ok, this has gotten me motivate to try out my flip video this weekend....the potential use is great,...plan is I am going to try using it to highlight a new piece of technology that we just purchased called the sonic care, I have used this device, which is like an ultrasound machine to a vein on a person that was next to impossible to start.

This is great news. Good luck! I'm interested to find out how you edit the movie files. I've yet to find a good solution - the .mp4 files require file conversion to get into my editing software. If you have iMovie, it's not a problem ... I think. Let us know how it turns out!

Leaders in the Use of Technology in Nursing Education to Collaborate with the Global Community ABNF 2010

Great place to start looking for ideas!

Dr. Barksdale spoke about VoiceThread at the 2009 iNet conference. It's an excellent way to promote classroom interaction.

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.

This is the best internet timeline I've seen. A good thing to scan and get your bearings with most things related to the internet.

This site would be excellent to integrate into an informatics course.
