Bells and Whistles
Module 6
Introduction
Welcome to Module 6, our last week together! Last week we focused on time management. We all benefited by some of the pointers in the section on time management. I hope those ideas were helpful to you so that teaching online doesn't take over your lives. In addition to reviewing the instructional content and participating in the discussions, you also have been integrating strategies in your own online courses that you are now or will be soon teaching.
In this module we will explore cool technology that we can use such as YouTube videos, publishing software for narrating presentations, publisher provided content, just to name a few.
