Interesting. My first thought: if music can throw off one's moral compass, what does that mean for listening to music while driving.

This was a nice post. I can see why this is an important platform you are requesting us to use. I just need a tweet tutorial for the uninitiated. :) Much more play time I suppose. Play. Play. Play.

Laura Goglia wrote up a pretty decent intro twitter document but play if always my preferred path. https://www.academia.edu/11977668/A_Little_Bird_Told_Me_Maximizing_Your_Learning_On_Twitter

focuses on Moodle but has some interesting points on the general effect of course introduction videos on online student engagement/participation "Studies point to an introductory course video from the instructor welcoming students as being able to cause shifts in course evaluations and discussion postings. For that reason, instructors should consider creating short videos greeting the students"

Jody, I've used Moodle as a student. It's free and open source. You'd just need a place to host it. Not sure if AltLab does that--but they should! I liked it, but didn't do a ton with it.

AH! Thank you, this is tremendous!

I'm tempted to make one of those. Also seems like you could skip the mirror and flip w software pretty easily.

I very much wish to try this.

If you flip that to a gdoc, I'll throw some more stuff in there.

This is one of the most depressing charts you will see in the foreseeable future http://t.co/BlHNmufut0 http://t.co/utvG1squcQ

". In Cape, an interactive fiction story created by Bruno Dias for the ongoing Interactive Fiction Competition, you become one of those shadowy figures trying right wrongs in a crime-ridden city.

"How do I balance my desire to integrate student-centered learning practices with my almost pathological need to have every last bit of the course planned out and thought through? Most of my pedagogy research has suggested that we as faculty should be looking for ways to give students a real sense of ownership in the classroom. One of our goals should be to create an atmosphere that leaves space for students take an active role in their own learning. How, then, do we design a course before even meeting our students? Isn't there a danger in showing up to the first day of class with a syllabus that shows the whole course planned out? By doing so, aren't we clearly communicating to the students that the instructor is in charge, that if you know what's good for you, you'll follow these rules?"
