Integrateable Projects That Students Love

The 2009 E-Learning in Action conference is fast shaping up to be an interesting series of workshops and fun.

Here is what I am presenting this year. A little different, ok far different from my presentation last year. This will also be the first workshop I have given in a professional context in nearly 3 years.

The handout is just a brief outline of what is on the slideshow, so I am not including it here. All the information, except the notes, are on the slideshow.

Mix Mingle & Merge

My first official presentation for HCT was at the E-Learning in Practice conference in 2008. This presentation was meant purely as an introduction to what a Mashup is and why it may be important for teachers to learn about it. I found it to be most important as a tool for the business teachers and still get questions to this day about what a Mashup is and it's role in business by the business teachers at the women's college.

I am sorry to say that the program that I used to transform the ppt into a video did not include the embedded videos that came with the Mashup presentation. However, I it looked great during the presentation.

I hope you had a chance to see it.

Here is the handout that I gave the participants.
