LARGE list of collaboration tools - well respected and comprehensive list (as much as an internet list can be)

The courses I found were from the United Kingdom which would help students see a different health care system.

Attached is a document from Faculty Focus on teaching with technology. These documents are collections of short pieces on the particular topic … and Faculty Focus has LOADS of topics. You can find that list of topics at http://www.facultyfocus.com/free-reports/. All reports are free, but in order to download them, you have to register (i.e., enter your e-mail address and create a password). Once you register, you will get regular announcements from Faculty Focus when new reports come out. Sometimes the e-mails are about reports you've already been notified of, but most of the time it's new stuff. Well, now that you know about this great resource, I will assume that those of you who are interested will register and get your own announcements. I, therefore, will not be cluttering up your Inbox with any more of these things … though you can expect notices when other kinds of things come out that might be of interest to you. Theresa M.

A good presentation about Diigo as a research tool.

"Welcome to RezEd (BETA), an online hub providing practitioners using virtual worlds with access to the highest quality resources and research in the field to establish a strong network of those using virtual worlds for learning."

A good place to network and find educators using Second Life and other virtual worlds in the classroom.

The Second Life Official Site and place to download the software

Good talk about issues surrounding digital culture, social media, and virtual worlds.

A web service, still under beta, that quickly records your audio, stores it online (public), and allows you to embed it in webpages or link to it in emails.

If you are teaching online, you owe it to yourself to spend some time on this site. Very well done and comprehensive.

It's time to head back to school and there are a number of web-based and social tools to help you get through the school year. Here are 15 essential ones.\n

Springer publishing supports online sharing of citations.

You got it exactly right, Linda. CiteULike for referencing / citations and Diigo for websites. The concept is similar: People sharing resources which helps to discover trends and eliminate redundancy. EndNote (a supported tool at DUKE), CiteUlike, and Zotero (http://www.zotero.org/) fall into citation management and sharing. Delicious and Diigo can be categorized as website sharing. It would be great if BOTH these ways to share caught on and were used in our schools. But, how would we prove they were effective?

Linda! That sounds really neat, I'd be interested in hearing more about your EndNote/CiteULike class assignment. Could be a great Featured Tool scenario! Neat stuff.

OK, this has my attention ---get ride of the handheld device of the clicker------ For $129 US dollars you can have a campus license and use virtual clickers....no more loosing a device the size of a small calculator--sent this one to my IT folks, you should too.

OK having just USED the clicker today (the kind that get lost or broken), this one is of great interest! Can we find anybody who has actually used this irtual clicker? I'm not in a hurry but am definitely interested. Anyway it would work for online teaching?
