Laura, one of the tools that I think is useful to use in the classroom is blogs. Blogs provide a forum for discussion that goes beyond the course.
How do you think the class blog has helped us reach out beyond our course? What do you know now that you didn't know before starting your blog and using it in our class?
Laura, I think that if you view our instructors rather than our students as your learning audience, you'll come up with more topics to explore than you could ever imagine. Just think of all of the surveys you could create on your blog that would give you data on which to base solutions to the reporting needs we have! I know that once you discover how best to use this space, you'll be a firecracker!
I can't wait for you to start using your blog to "train" our instructors on the many necessary forms, etc., with which they work. I know that once we learn how to use more technologies ourselves, you will be able to create exciting ways in which to educate them on things such as reporting attendance, checking PABLO, etc. I know that the time investment seems great with all we have to do, but if you can do it once and they can listen to it or watch it themselves over and over again, it will save much more time than your telling them over and over again, and might even save time!
