I've used "Quick Fire " searches with the students and their smart phones.
Given them 5 minutes to lookup a particular topic.

I've also put my lecture notes on my tablet, and use that instead of a paper notebook

Lets not forget about those technologies that are not new to the older generations, but he younger ones may have never experienced

Overhead projector
Film strips
Cassette player
VCRs and yes Beta machines
8 track players

by use of these older items, I beleive it gives the students a sense of history, that helps tie them further into the instructor and class content

I was one that never liked using power points, but not i live for it to guide me in the points i want to stay on and important things i dont want to forget. Not reading it but bullet points also keeps the students on track.

I teach business courses and usually include a hand out with questions for the students to search for the answers online. For instance, when covering safety in the workplace, my handout refers them to the OSHA site and they must answer ten questions ranging from the number of fatalities last year to how to file a complaint with OSHA. Similarly, I handle other topics with handouts, mostly referring to government websites like the treasury, federal reserve, federal trade commission and so on. The exercise not only covers the current material, but demonstrates to the students ways to research answers to questions they may have in the future.

I have also given the students an assignment to put together a short presentation on how they could use their cell phone to run their own business. Today's cells allow users to take credit card purchases as well as many other functions.

Teaching in an online environment requires technology integration throughout. Utilizing items such as powerpoint, live webinars/webchat allows for students to feel more connected. It also keeps students current in regards to using technology.

Tom,

This is an effective way to engage students, by enabling them to use their personal, electronic devices. I'm sure that they were excited to use the devices in class.

I have found that having students look up information on the internet or the electronic versions of the service manuals get them involved rather than just reading the course materials I also have brought actual equipment we are lecturing on into the classroom in order to turn lectures into active discussions instead...

William Howell CHEP

I use youtube videos to enhance the course. I use as an attention getter and for content

Vivian Carter

I integrate power point presentations with my lectures. I utilize on line tests/quizes,and virtual scenarios for student involvement. I give the students classroom assignments in which they have a designated amount of time to go to the computer lab and use the internet to find the answers. This gives students the opportunity to find appropriate resources in the tecnological world and learn the skills of utilizing technology.

Tom Beckman CHEP

A couple of ways I integrate tech into the classroom is to have students the have smartphones or tablets find pictures of the products I am demonstrating. Then they can pass them around and see several examples of the same product. I also post many documents and fun stuff on our portal for our students to download.

I use powerpoints for my lectures. I use diagrams, pictures, and a lot of key information in them. I also use power point templates that I have found for review games such as "Who wants to be a millionaire", "Jeopardy", and "Wheel of Fortune". The students like the power points because they can still follow along with their book, but there is less highlighting and more paying attention to my lecture while I speak. The review games make reviewing for their exams a little more exciting and engaging to where they will retain the information better.

I download diagrams & show it in class. Like for example if I'm teaching EKG I showed them how the blood circulation is, how the heart pump blood.

I have found current events are excellent in regards to my field. They can obtain these on-line or in the library. For every class, it gives us a current, up to date information in regards to law, policy and procedures.

I have also used the internet to compliment lectures as well as having the students use their computers for assignments and group work.

The textbooks also come with great reasons to integrate the text to online content. I like to share that with the student's so they are aware where to look for that information as well.

Mary Pinkham

In my lecture notes I have bookmarked a few places to show a youtube video, ACT video, or picture to help demonstrate the topic or technique we are discussing.

Sandra Streitenberger

I use electronic flashcards to help in the accounting classes. This usually ends up being a fun, interesting way to solidify the learning before we proceed to new topics. This helps to slowly layer on new knowledge as you move through the course. Students seem to enjoy it and the time flys. As for powerpoint, I try to limit this avenue because oftentimes the students feel like this is a cop out. Too many times instructors use the publishers powerpoint and don't really take time to familize themselves with the material prior to class. Students feel they are unprepared for questions that go down deeper into the weeds. I want them to be confident that I KNOW the material.

BRUCE HAGER CHEP

Lately I have been using and having fun with a Power Point presentation from a lap top onto a screen keeping the students involved by having them read outloud a frame or two in the module.Keeps them all on thier toes.

Robin Stuart CHEP

In our facility we promote each student to complete a portfolio. Each class will be assigned a project and a portfolio piece to be applied to their portfolio. My students are given assignments for them to research on the internet and integrate this into a report. We also give examples of work product in each class that will be added to the portfolio. I believe this is an important addition to the student learning.

Darryl Dela Cruz

We have done a lot of research using the Internet, our own Cyberary and have students done presentations utilizing Powerpoints. Students have used their cellphones for a quick lookup on topics because most students don't have laptops in the classroom. I have also used DVD's to present or emphasize topics - from my own previous experiences that I have recorded.

James Henry CHEP

I have found that using aids such as video and various mechanical tools have helped my culinary students stay engaged in the daily lesson far longer than tradional hand outs and lectures

Danielle Zatkoff

I also post all of my assignments on the portal for students. Also, I have just started taking advantage of the online portal testing system where I can store tests/quizzes right in the portal for students to complete online.

Paul Folkestad CHEP

I ask groups of students in one active learning exercise, for example, to look up short videos on their smart phones on how to make a particular soup. We watch them together and then critique them vs our own learning and the Le Cordon Bleu method. This type of active learning always makes the day more fun and we cover the material in a creative way.
