My New eLearning Blog


I am stuck at home with two feet of snow, but thankful that I can still do my job as I have recently changed from a classroom teacher and chair to the eLearning Coordinator of our 4000 student, 53 course strong Online Campus.

To that end I have, as you might have noticed found some other to help continue my other blogs and have continued adding posts myself to them.  But my new site - "eLearning Blog" is where I am putting anything related to learning online.  You can also receive the posts using Google+ and/or following me on Twitter.  Recent posts have included

  • How to make your own flipped videos
  • How to teach online during snow days
  • Texting homework reminders
  • Using Twitter as a teaching tool
  • Digital Resources for the US Department of Education
  • How to quickly convert a Microsoft document into a Blackboard test
  • Scripts for shortcuts in your grading
  • Url (link) shorteners 
  • and much much more.
