Yes, this looks a little overwhelming, but it really doesn't take too long to do some investigating and to figure out what pieces are important to you in your professional life and what pieces could be used in your traditional and virtual classrooms. Fortunately, most of these tools are easy to use and can be mastered with little or no help. The key part is to be thinking about the pedagogical aspects and to start creating opportunities for students to use the tools in their learning.

Allowing your students to use these tools can give them some new and exciting ways of demonstrating their learning, and at the same time can provide alternatives for matching activities with learning styles while promoting cooperation, sharing, and the building of a learning community. The goal of this workshop is to introduce you to some of the online tools that are being used successfully by teachers, to give you an opportunity to try one or two of the tools, and to reflect on how these tools could be used in teaching and learning.

Check out the activities when you are ready to get going.
