It seems that my latest frustration is how to find the time to effectively integrate more useful technology into my classes. It is easy to pull up spiffy things on the Internet, it is more difficult to make meaningful use of technology. I think about different ideas and don't implement most of them.
The ones that I am currently interested in pursuing...
1. Moodle - an online learning management system seems like a great way to save time on grading as well as incorporate some of the best collaborative features on the internet.
2. Liveblogging - I am going to try this this week to see how it works.
3. Programming - I teach physics and have felt for a long time that if the students could write an algorithm to solve a general problem that they would truly understand the problem. I would like to check out vpython, phun and scratch. I think phun and scratch offer different things than Vpython.
