I finally figured out the easy way to tap into RSS feeds, and I now get a daily dose of the latest thoughts and ideas coming out of such sites as 2 Cents Worth, Academic Commons, Educational Technologies and many other great sites. I’m starting to feel a little cocky now! (Thank you Google for making this so easy!) I’m thinking of creating a small video of how to set up RSS (and any other features I find interesting) and adding the videos to this blog. I wonder if that would be interesting for others?
This site has proven interesting to me this week—it comes from the Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies. It’s a guide to trends and emerging tools and e-teaching technologies. They list a Top 100 Tools for educators and students. Many I know, but there's a couple of new ones in here that caught my eye.
I’m thinking I’d like my students to each pick one they are interested in, and as a project, have them detail the strengths, weaknesses and show samples of what one can do with their choice. We can then rank as a class as to our own opinion of which products we deem most useful. Sounds like fun!
