You are all starting to get your developments underway and your textbooks should be arriving soon! At this time you are likely thinking about what new and exciting things you can bring into your developments. Might I suggest blogging as an option for a new way to integrate technology into online learning! Here is the link to the Wikipedia site that explains blogging very thoroughly:

More and more instructors have been working blogs into their online courses and I would like to suggest an article from Online Classroom that talks about 13 ways to integrate blogging into the Web 2.0 classroom. Remember, to log into Online Classroom by going to www.magnapubs.com/licenses/suscribe.html Enter your individual email address and password as well as the other required information. Enter the following Voucher Code and PIN number where prompted:
- Voucher Code: MSB
- PIN: 1010
Lastly, here is a link to the Top 100 Education Blogs that might be of interest to you: http://oedb.org/library/features/top-100-education-blogs
Happy Blogging!
Just a few housekeeping reminders:
- Your 25% completion date is June 2nd
- Please remember to save any document that you attach to your courses as a Word 97 - 2003 document. Not all students have upgraded their computers so they won't be able to open the file if it is saved in a different format
- If you would like to add audio to your courses but don't feel comfortable recording it yourself, simply send me a script and tell me where to put the audio, and I would be happy to record it for you!
Have a great week!
