Teaching with the Web

Posted by julz on

Ten free ideas from to leverage the Web:

  1. Set up a class page with headlines from Google news on the topic via an RSS feed
  2. Offer a page (Wiki or portal) where students can comment and share videos and articles they find on class topics
  3. Have students responsible for posting and editing the lecture notes online from classes
  4. Devise an online list of topics that will be on the test and have the students write, and provide links for, the study notes
  5. Use a widget that enlarges a student's picture on the class portal as he/she contributes to the class notes
  6. Assign topics to students or groups, and have them responsible for the content on the class website, portal, or wiki
  7. Maintain online discussions around relevant, interesting topics
  8. Develop online groups or sandboxes for research topics
  9. Have students prepare lectures (video or audio with slides) that can be posted online
  10. Create a Twitter stream that students can access, follow, and contribute to for the class.
