Shows an example of wehat he used to use for a course web page. Realized that textbook prices are going up, up, up and everything is online anyway.

• no more static webpages
• no more textbooks

Audacity

• Uses it to respond to papers!
• “Talk faster then I can write. And since I have 40 papers to respond to…”
• Can even make them small enough to email.

Blogger and RSS

• Pulls blogger into LMS with google gadget.
• Or, use an iframe.

Off Topic:

Does anyone else think that the Minneapolis Community and Technical College logo looks like the Burning Man logo?

OK – maybe it is just me.

Now back to regularly scheduled program.

Social Bookmarking

• Used digo, but does not seem to be able to recommend it. Looks like it has a lot of promised features, but they don’t always work.

Trailfire

• To create trails across webpages.
• Seems like a good idea, but would not load during presentation :(

Flikr

• Creative commons – best place for free photos.

Google Calendar

• Use agenda tab!
• can be embed in LMS.

PBWiki

• Simple wiki – works well
• Get them to use plain english!

WebX

• Online meeting software – synchronous chat (voice!)
• Seems to work well.
• Chat can be recorded!
• Oh wait, it costs three dollar signs ($$$)!

ZoHo Creator

• Form creator
