Teaching in the Cloud

The Office of Faculty Development (OFD), Faculty Technology Center and Extended University Programs will be hosting the 2nd annual Teaching with Technology Symposium on Feb. 25th.  Last year was the first event and it was very successful.  Our keynote speaker was Kevin Abbott, from Media Services, who is also a game designer.  He talked about using gaming principles in the classroom.  He and I also co-facilitated a Game Your Classroom Institute last June.  What fun that was!!!!

This year's event theme is "Teaching in the Cloud" - using cloud programs and apps to support effective teaching and learning.

In my EDT5410 class this semester, we've been exploring a number of cloud computing programs and discussing ways they can be used in the classroom; social bookmarking using Diigo or another program, RSS readers, and wikis for collaboration.

What are some other cloud computing resources that could be used in a learning environment?
