Class Tools Just this morning I had an excellent experience using an exciting interactive site called Class Tools which allows you to create games, activities, and diagrams in Flash (without knowing a thing about Flash!). While covering an eighth grade social studies class, I informed students that they would be creating review games for an upcoming test. They were less than enthusiastic (and those of you who are familiar with the typical enthusiasm level of eighth graders will know that causing them to be even less excited was something of a real feat). Hoping to rescue the moment, I asked if some of them would like to create a game online. Even this was met with grudging acceptance, but they agreed, perhaps considering it at least a momentary reprieve from creating another stale board game with markers and construction paper). Well, in about twenty minutes time, I had some very excited eighth graders on my hands.
"Teaching Composition Online: The Quest for Classroom Community" by Letizia M. Guglielmo Abstract One of the most difficult parts of teaching online writing courses lies in trying to create the community that students develop, often spontaneously, in traditional composition courses. While teaching two sections of English Composition (English 1102) during the Fall 2004 semester at Kennesaw State University (one exclusively online and one in a traditional classroom), I found that despite my efforts to change little, if anything, in the course design for these two sections, the courses have been quite different.

Creating Videos Without Installing Over the years I've published some lists and reviews of free tools for creating videos online. Quite a few of those tools have been for creating simple videos that are really just automated, audio slideshows. See Animoto for an example of this. Lessonstream.org by Jamie Keddie Uncle Sam - Lessonstream.org From Wikipedia: “Uncle Sam (initials U.S.) is a common national personification of the American government that, according to legend, came into use during the War of 1812 and was supposedly named for Samuel Wilson.” In the last few years, the original poster has become a bit of a meme. Instead of enlisting recruits for the US Army, Uncle Sam says, “I want you to tidy your room!” or “I want you to give up smoking!”
5: Your teacher is not a mind-reader Lord of the Flies by William Golding Coaltown Jesus by Ron Koertge Steinbeck's American Dream heidiwiki / Teaching Composition Online Barber, John F. "Teaching and Learning in the Virtual Classroom: A Look to the Future." Composition Forum: A Journal of the Association of Teachers of Advanced Composition 7.2 (1996): 111-18. Barber describes the realities and implications of virtual classrooms and concludes that this type of environment may provide "richer" learning experiences for students (113). He goes on to offer several practical recommendations for teaching online, urging instructors to provide models for student participation and allow for the possibility of face-to-face interaction, for instance. Optimistically, Barber encourages us to consider the many advantages of the online classroom, a space that promotes "a literacy based on audio/visual rather than textual thinking" (117).

Power Point Jeopardy First of all, thanks for the good feedback on my instructions for a comparison/contrast graphic organizer. I have used this particular graphic organizer many times since I learned how to make one, and after I’ve taught it to the students, all I have to do is instruct them to make a comparison/contrast organizer. Some of them even do it on their own without prompting if they think it will help them with their assignment. Also, students have reported using them in other classes. When I taught middle school, I had a colleague that taught us how to create a Jeopardy game using MS Power Point.
