Jean's Examples:
- YouTube Channel used to post tips for assignments. These short videos have resulted in fewer errors and easier grading. They were created with a pocket video camera.
- Twitter Account used to post reminders, updates, and screencasts. See tweet from Nov 5 for an example of a screencast created using Screenr.com. The most recent five tweets are embedded in the course web site so students don't have to have Twitter accounts.
- Jing Project / Screencast.com used for homework feedback and on-the-fly demos in response to student questions. Students really appreciate the video homework feedback.
- Sharing Google Reader with students. Use RSS feeds to stay current in a rapidly changing field then share them with your students.
- SurveyMonkey to collect quick, anonymous feedback from students. Feedback from the survey I've linked helped me improve the Eliminate sessions I've been conducting.
- Facebook for Educators: A Guide for Instructors - a short video (6:45 minutes) with an excellent overview of Facebook and how it can be used in the classroom
- Slideshare used to post PowerPoint presentations for both faculty (saves server space) and for students (makes presentations available for online viewing).
- Flickr to share photos relevant to instruction and to search for "legal" photos to use for instructional materials (PowerPoint, a course web site, Angel, Blackboard, etc.)
