Using technology in teaching Anatomy & Physiology can be a "friend" and a "foe" at the same time. It's a great tool that helps students study the layers and the set up of the organs of the human body. It's down side is when medical and nursing ashools prefer "virtual" dissection to hands-on dissection of real cadavers. Students are at risk of losing the sense of how the tissues feel in real life. My opinion is to keep both so the students can benefit both ways.

I really needed this.  It was very informative, plan to use many ideas in the classroom setting.

I learned different ways to use technology in the classroom and I plan to implament this new technology.

What are your toughts on the technology utilization of quizlet and the availablity of some exams to the students? Do you think this will have a huge impact on cheating and not preparing generation of thinkers to assess the congnitive abiity of our learners?

Too abstract...too much theory...give me some concrete ideas and their pro and cons.

I really liked this series. I learned a lot about all the different types of websites that are available out there to help students branch out of the normal class setting and learn more online. I have also gleemed several tools for myself to implement into my lesson planning as well.

I would love suggestions on how to incoroporate Twitter into the classroom.  I am not that familiar with it but I know my students talk about it all the time.

I finished the third section of ED119, where the course introduces educators to several methods of collaborating and communicating with students, including Facebook, Twitter, and Skype. I have several concerns, however, about the "Digital Trail". Our university keeps EVERY email we send out and receive via our school account because of some sort of requirement to be able to trace all communications. All these external tools bypass that requirement. Isn't that a formula for troulble?

For example, suppose a student claims an instructor made several inappropriate remarks or invitations....how do you prove or disprove that? What about a student who starts bullying another student, or even their own teacher?

Thoughts?

I have always made the comment a cell phone is a great tool but a terrible toy.I believe that if we are to embrace using technology then we should be trained in the uses before the problems occur. I can speek from personnal experience that my unfamiliarity with some technoligy has slowed my use of it in the class setting.
