Twitterpated? and more possibilities

Alexandra M. Pickett is getting us to experiment and teach outside the box. Just consider . . .

Check her top ten list.

• Twitter is used for course announcements and she used the widget to embed it in her course for lots of flexibility and immediacy.
• Meebo widget lets students IM her online for synchronous interaction.
• Quick capture in YouTube lets her do an intro video.
• Voicethread lets you comment via video, audio, text, on the phone on documents, etc . . .
• All her students created blogs as a structured reflective activity and she has one, too.
  
• Diigo is like deli.cio.us on steroids and it can feed deli.cio.us and she created a group based on the class number and the students tag things with that course number, and you can highlight and leave stickies on public web pages, too!
• Jing for screen captures
• Breeze, which she thinks became Adobe Connect
• Audacity
• PollDaddy for getting feedback on the course
