It has some great guidelines to remember. http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html. This is wicked pissah for those of us who are visual learners. Click on the tabs.
 * All of these website are free images/pictures. They all offer a vast collection of many topics and subjects. I especially like them because they offer a lot of medical photo's of rather healthylooking patients ranging from babies to the elderly.**

Greetings Everyone,
Thank you for the great sites. I have copied and pasted them all onto to my page so that I may view them easier.

www.Youtube.com I use this for my peers to actually watch how other hospitals do things and can watch inservices, meetings etc. [|www.gotomeeting.com] It's easy to use, free and it perfect for pickup meetings. I used it all last year in 3 of my classes. [|www.gimp.org] A friend of mine introduced me to this site. Its free and it allows you to edit pictures and screen shots.

Dina Gentile: [|www.wiggio.com]: I just learned of this site. It does seems to be useful in a number of settings. I think this will be the platform I use for my multimedia project in this course. I am intrigued by many of the Wiggio features from web conferencing to taking polls. [] Word Press: I have asked my students to use this site to create websites for assignments in my courses. [] I have used voicethread when students need to combine a powerpoint slideshow presentation with voice over features.

[|Podcasting for Learning in Universities] This website is a goldmine of ideas on how podcasting can be used in higher education. I have ordered the books to get more detailed information, but the website provided many helpful resources [|Podcasting for Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development] This slideshow introduced me to the idea of interactive podcasting. Though I won't be using it in my project, I thought it was an exciting idea that others might be able to use. [|Audacity Tutorial] I do not have a subscription to Lynda, so I haven't seen this tutorial (though I would love to). I have included it for those who do, as it looks really comprehensive and Lynda comes so highly recommended by Russ. [|Easy Podcast with Audacity] This podcast, and all the other Youtube videos explaining how to use Audacity, are the low-budget way to learn! [|Twenty-five Free Digital Audio Editors You Should Know] Though it seems that most people consider Audacity to be the best of the free digital audio editors, I have included this website for those who aren't happy with Audacity or whose needs might be better served by one of the alternatives.

__**Jing**__ - I use this for quick screen capturing tutorials to demonstrate various aspects of different software programs as well as tutorials on our LMS - ANGEL. __**Voice Thread and Viddler**__ - Great tool to use for class introductions, expanded discussions and lecture. I also use it for storytelling practices to enhance the lecture. **__Prezi__** - An alternative to PowerPoint for presentations/lectures. I use this more so as a review tool than to introduce new concepts because I think it can be distracting to certain learners. __**Audacity**__ - Great for podcasting and adding audio to presentations. __**iSpring**__ - Easy PowerPoint conversion to flash video [|Xtranormal.com] - A free web-based tool that lets you easily create scripted animations. Its great to use in scenarios where you are teaching something verbal. //(See individual page for additional resources)//  Jane Huggins: [|http://www.podomatic.com] I used this over the summer to develop small 3-5 min previews of the reading material each week for my micro class. Podomatic was very easy to use; the product was good; and I had fun adding small pertinent images to each podcast icon. Feedback from students has been good; they like a preview of what's coming up in the reading; what are focal points, etc. http://www.wikispaces.com I have been working with wikispaces lately and trying to develop a wiki project for my environmental science class. I'm working on translating this project into a 'roll-out' for a class of 85 students [divided into smaller groups]. So while wikispaces is very easy to use; I need to look at 'large-scale' development of a project using it [fine-tune the details to avoid mass chaos!]. [|http://www.grooveshark.com] I use Grooveshark to develop playlists which I use in conjunction with my general toxicology class. I ask students to listen to various selections on my playlists and relate them to concepts we are studying; alternatively, I ask them to compile playlists based around a particular concept. I have not found Grooveshark hard to use; many, many selections from which to choose...lots of fun!
