Teaching with Technology Options and Tools
The big picture Ask yourself why you want to use a particular technology and how it will further the learning goals of your course.
Start with what you know, then add to it. MS Word: “Track Changes” To turn “Track Changes” on, go to the Review tab and select “Track Changes.” Using this feature, you can revise documents and give them to team members to “accept” or “reject.” For more on Google Docs, see http://www.docs.google.com Google Docs
Using Wikis Wikis are a collection of web pages that allow users to make changes and add new pages. Whereas a web-based editor like Google docs essentially focuses on one document at a time, a wiki allows a team to focus on complex relationships among many documents. For example, go to http://www.wikimatrix.com Wikis Zoho.com http://zoho.com Pbwiki.com http://pbwiki.com/education.wiki Social Text.com www.socialtext.com
Helping Students Design Web Sites There are many free or virtually free web sites that allow students to use templates to create sites or pages of their own. Here are some examples: http://www.wordpress.org http://www.moonfruit.com http://www.homestead.com http://www.piczo.com
Using Technology to Plan Compositions Consider an online site that allows creative outlining techniques and is free: http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
