Sharing/using other instructor's materials like videos in support of active learning .... I like this para especially: "The impact is especially great for women and others under-represented in STEM fields. Studies show that the achievement gap in STEM classes can be reduced or even annihilated for women, first-generation college students and underrepresented minority students if active learning strategies are employed. In order to make this happen in the classroom, it is effective to place some amount of foundational learning outside of class time."

Pretty cool looking service. Glassboard lets you set up private social networks that can be accessed via the web and through mobile apps. Could be an interesting way to share information and resources with classes.

Good reminder of an easy way to share files to large for email.

"The backchannel is the conversation that goes on alongside the primary activity, presentation, or discussion. TodaysMeet helps harness the backchannel and turn it into a platform that can enable new activities and discussions, extend conversations beyond the classroom, and give all students a voice. Embracing the backchannel can turn it from distraction to engagement. Participants can learn from each other and share their insights, improving participation and deepening learning. TodaysMeet enables instant formative assessment, feedback, and much more."

This is totally personal. Thought it was worth sharing to the group. You can order a photobook right from your iPhone of photos that you've taken with your phone. $20. Looks pretty nice.

This is worth thinking about. What if we had an app where students could record their learning 'workouts' and it was social? Imagine a Brainbit similar to the Fitbit that reminded students to study for 15 minutes every hour or they could set their own goals and reply yes/no if they met the goal. They could then choose to share on FB or twitter, etc. Maybe there's a way to start thinking about the D2L Awards and the Mozilla backpack and start modeling something like this?

"The Affordable Learning Exchange was created to help instructors take ownership of their courses and content. We are here to help navigate the waters of affordable resources and find creative solutions that promote students savings. This includes re-imagining the textbook, encouraging faculty innovation, and empowering our faculty through grants and training opportunities to adopt, adapt, create and share open educational resources"

An example of how you can use Glassboard. Glassboard has been getting traction at conferences as a way to communicate and share information.

Information on what computers are compatible with AirPlay (the technology that allows you to wirelessly share your computer screen with an AppleTV).

A fast and simple document collaboration service. Start a document and share the link. Good for "quick" collaborations where the text will be copied and pasted into a more permanent location.

A service to host and share PDFs.

This is really clear and easy to understand. We may want to share in the workshop course.

Good information on how to get good sound when recording audio. This is something we should share with, or teach to, faculty who are recording audio for their Storyline/Narrated PPTs

Versal is a new way for anyone to create interactive online learning experiences and share them with the world. From full courses to short lessons and homework assignments, people can create unique experiences for students and embed them virtually anywhere on the web.

something we should share with every GA that has to work on page layout
