This blogger lists the 15 Internet tools he thinks all students should use. I think this is mostly for college students, but might have some application to high school. I like that he cites some of the technologies we'll learn about this semester, like Diigo. In fact, notice the highlighting and sticky notes on the page--that's from using Diigo.

This is a great example of asynchronous video chatting! You can post a picture or slide, and then hear people's comments---just like you would in class. I think I'll use this for my online section.

In our section on copyright, we'll talk about CC licensing, which is easier to use in presentations than stuff with regular copyright restrictions.

social network university college cheating

shared by Rick West on 29 Sep 09 - Cached

Rick West on 29 Sep 09

This is an interesting website. I could see it being a valuable resource for university students, but also a way of cheating. It connects to your Facebook and you can upload class notes and materials to share with other students. What do you think? Would you encourage your students to use this? What would you do to make sure it wasn't used for cheating?

  This is cool. It's like traveling in the classroom. This could be neat to do when reading a novel or something set outisde the United States to get some background information. Learn about the country by "traveling" there together as a class. I like that idea..

I love playing around on the history channel website for videos, which can be episodes or short clips. When I'm trying to implement visual representations into my lessons, this is an easily accessible source. Simple, but effective.

I first heard about this from my Eng 150 Librarian, but was reminded of it the other day. If you love to read and are always looking for good books it is awesome! I noticed Professor West even has a link on the class website. Enjoy!

It's a great way for English teachers and students to keep track of the books they've read and be able to remember them. It's also a great way to share what books you've read. You can makes groups and have discussions, too.
