Beta Site for Connecting Instructors with Technology

Instructors might be interested in a new site from Bill Gates connecting instructors with Education Technology. Here is the link :  http://mobile.thegatesnotes.com/Topics/Education/Graphite-Connecting-Teachers-with-Technology?WT.mc_id=06_27_2013_graphiteISTE_tw&WT.tsrc=Twitter ! Incorporating technology into courses can be done a little bit at a time. Technology changes can stimulate updates to your course keeping your content fresh for students and increasing Student Success !

Move your courses online!

Instructors I have a couple of ideas about getting your courses online for FREE !!! Coursesites from Blackboard offers instructors 5 course websites for free. I think each course size is still 300 Mb. Coursesites has a Grade Center and a testing tool. Not to mention Threaded Discussion! A second Course Management System ( CMS ) is Haiku where instructors are offered 5 free course sites at 200 Mb each. Haiku course websites are more oriented toward K-12. Both of these course management systems are easy to get started with, and provides an easy way to get your class online and using online tools.
