Dr. Christie

Dr. Christie has some very useful ideas for today's teachers. I haven't had any experience when it comes to an ePortfolio. Electronic portfolio can be useful for students as well as teachers. It allows teachers to better know their students. It also makes turning in homework more convenient for student. Eportfolio allows teachers to post grades which will let the students know how their doing in the class.
I found Dr. Christies ideas on web design interesting. A class website can be a useful tool for teachers, students and parents. Parents can check the website to make sure that their child is keeping up with the requirements. It allows students to keep up with the assignments.

Itunes University

Itunes is a very easy and quick tool for students and teachers to use. Teachers can record lectures and post them on itunes. This will be helpful for students who were absent or just not paying attention. Itunes also allows podcasting.
Students can do podcasts on a topic given by the teacher. This requires the students to use technology and research for the podcast. Students can find educational videos, podcasts and many more useful stuff.

Duke University Ipod

In 2004 Duke University handed out over 1600 ipods to first year freshmen to encourage "creative uses in technology in education and campus life." CIT started an evaluation of the educational use of the ipods. They evaluated how the ipod was used as a tool for academics.

The students and teachers both benefited from the ipods. Classes that required digital multimedia reduced the dependence on lab and library hours. It allowed students to easily record class discussions. It helps the students to learn more independently.

I commented on Mr. Moss Atlantis blog. This blog contained a video of Mr. Moss talking about sharks. I posted that the students were clearly interested in the presentation.
