As a quick tutorial, this presentation is very helpful. Those of us who are technology “immigrants” need all of the help we can get to engage our technology “native” students.

Very nice course packed full of information. If anything, I would not mind having a similar course that offered about half as much (as this really was overwhelming with what was discussed) and with the less information maybe spending a little more time on each item
