Social Bookmarking: Tag and Share!
So you thought bookmarks were personal, something you stored in
your browser? Think again!
Tools like CiteULike, Connotea, and Del.icio.us are transforming
the way we store and share information by allowing us to share our
bookmarks with peers and students alike. This session will show you
how to use these tools to share knowledge and discover new and interesting
content.

Student Response Systems
Student Response Systems, also knows as Clicker
Systems, are a combination of hardware and software that
enable students to provide instant feedback to their instructors.
Added benefits include creating an interactive learning experience
that encourages active learning and the ability to gauge students'
understanding of the material presented. Over the course of this
semester, we will showcase a number of these systems through vendor
demos.

RSS: A Really Simple Solution
Consider this: You have a large number of web logs and web sites
relevant to your course that you visit to keep abreast
of the latest information. It probably is a time consuming and tedious
task to visit each of those sites on a regular basis to acquire that
information. Now waht if you could have ifnormation from all those
sites and blogs delivered to you, in one catch-all location? That's
exactly waht RSS or Real Simply Syndication enables using a type
of software called an aggregator. This session will show you how
you can use RSS to collect and store information from a variety of
sources. We will also discuss how to share all that information with
peers and students on your course web site or through Blackboard.

Pachyderm is an open source authoring environment that allows you

Pachyderm's functionality, and explore how it can be best utilized
for teaching and learning.
Podcasting 101
Podcast was declared the word of the year by the editors of the
New Oxford American Dictionary.
Just what however, is a podcast? Where and how do your find them?
How can they be used to augment and enhance classroom learning? These
are just some of the questions this session will seek to answer.
The session will demonstrate the modalities of subscribing to podcasts,
the tools required to create podcasts, and conclude with audience
discussion and participation on identifying meaningful pedagogical
implications that can enhance and complement existing teaching and
learning activities.
