\nHow can you not like this tool? It’s one of my favorites from a workshop offered by the Kaneb Center: Teaching Well Using Technology <\/a>. Jamie Antonelli and I attended the workshop today. Perhaps unlike my favorite tool linked above, many of the tools and tips we received were quite useful.<\/p>\n

The workshop uses a wikispace site<\/a>, on which Jamie and I created a project page<\/a>, advancing a project (also hosted on a wiki<\/a>) begun last year.<\/p>\n

Without any pretense of coherence, below is a list of highlights from the workshop.<\/p>\n

One very interesting tool to which I”ve just now been introduced is EtherPag (or in this case, a free version called TitanPad<\/a>. This tool allows anyone to set up a “backchannel” during a workshop…something like a chat room where notes can be gathered and responded to as the workshop advances. Everyone can type into it at the same time. Lots of online presentations use a backchannel of this sort, and I find them helpful. But this is the first time I’d run across a free version which can be integrated into almost any other technology (such as a wiki home page for the workshop.) If I had just employed the correct rule of thumb–“if you can think of it, it exists online, and is free”–I’d have found it earlier:)<\/p>\n

Another new tool for me is grooveshark (mentioned only incidentally in the workshop, but of great interest to me.) Grooveshark enables you to share music, even in a widget; my first experiment with it is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jamie Antonelli found the “insert invisible frame” solution to navigating through a single slide in Prezi<\/a>. (I’ll hyperlink his solution from here when I gain access to it.)<\/p>\n

McKeechie’s Teaching Tips <\/a><\/strong>was recommended as a great useful text for folks teaching in higher ed.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Google slideshow <\/a>illustrating 66 ways to use Google Forms in a classroom context.<\/p>\n

More resources used and\/or recommended in the workshop can be found here<\/a>. Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
