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.

Over a 1-year period, support included upfront training of the chapters and participating practices on quality improvement concepts, followed by ongoing sharing of data and best practices and assistance with problem-solving. The program improved adherence to recommended care processes, leading to better asthma control.

The easiest way to make and share great looking guides.

Here's a tool for all those nursing procedures. And, mobile too!

"HEAL is a digital repository that allows medical educators to discover, download, and re-use over 22,000 medical education resources. Through generous funding by IAMSE, HEAL is becoming a dynamic, user-centered digital environment to allow medical educators to share and discuss teaching resources and methods. This is being accomplished through the incorporation of key characteristics of Web 2.0 technologies into HEAL including user reviews of resources and user tagging (searchable keywords) of resources.

If students are required to submit large files (over 20mb), these sites can help!

This is very helpful as I am wondering how large the files might be with the digital storytelling assignment I have for the nursing theory class, and the idea of being able to up load 5MB through filedropper might be my answer.

I agree! My favorite for files under 100mb is http://Drop.io . It's fast, flexible, feature-rich, and FREE!

This is a 5-min video clip demonstrating the iPhone-Moodle app. Impressive technology... also watch out for the music! Since the iPhone and the iPad share a similar operating system, this technology might also be useable on iPad. Technology similar to this in combination with the increasing availability of 4th Generation, WiMax, technology takes learning to a new level.

A good video demonstration of VoiceThread

After looking at voice thread I started thinking of ways in which I could utilize this technology in teaching my undergraduate students and it dawned on me that I could post a picture of the Amish and ask my students to share comments about the amish culture which would be useful in facilitating optimal outcomes with clients. At the graduate level, I was thinking of posting a diagram of a nursing model and asking the students to give an example of an application of the model to a client scenario. And in teaching nurse practitioners, I could post a picture of a patient and tell the story then ask students to identify a possible differential with rational. With 6 students in a clinical, 6 possible differentials could be generated from viewing a picture of the client and listening to the story in context.
