Some points to remember

March 21

Here's the web site I showed you last class. It's a good example of using the Web to extend course resources and materials outside the classroom.

Last class I also played a draft of a podcast I was creating for the above class. We'll go over how to subscribe to a podcast using ITunes in class.

Meanwhile, here's a some links to that podcast: Podcast | MP 3 file. As of this writing, I haven't updated the cast (although it does need some editing.) If you subscribe to the podcast in ITunes it will automatically update when I revise it.

Here's another example of some of the technology that will become part of your teacher's toolbox during your teaching career.

Here are instructions on how to access the Department's Listening Library on WebCT. Note: As of this writing, there is a problem with the Library and you may not be able to log in. Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon.
