This video tutorial shows how to create a new site using Dreamweaver CS5. My class will be creating personal Web pages using Dreamweaver CS5 and will need to take these steps whenever they plan to work on their pages in an open lab.

My Maps in Google Maps
This map shows students where the computer labs are on WMU's campus. Many students know of a couple of labs on campus and always use the same labs. Some will even wait in long lines at the end of the semester rather than going to a less-popular lab. This map would allow students to become more acquainted with other labs on campus.
In this trial map, all the labs on campus are not included, but it allows a tour of the labs most likely to be used by the students.
For class, I would have students take this tour so that they are familiar with the locations before they need to find a lab. I would also encourage them to use the labs (maybe a punch card?) so that they can see what the different labs offer and what hours they are available.

Podcasts
Once again we learn about a practical technology (podcasts) to use in teaching. I love it!
I am reviewing the podcast EdTech35: Flipping Out created by Brian Dvorak at www.edtech101.com. This podcast talks about teaching students 21st century learning skills--not only how to compose by text but to learn with multi-media.
Flipping Out discusses the Flip Video at www.theflip.com. I purchased this camera a few months ago (the basic version) and am using it in my classroom. I did not know about this podcast at that time. If you are considering purchasing video equipment for the classroom, you’ll want to listen to this review on The Flip!
FYI, two years ago when using a similar camera, there was no problem inserting the video into PowerPoint. This year the .avi files would not play correctly when inserted in PowerPoint and I had to use a video conversion program to turn the videos into MPEG1. However, it’s quick and easy to post these videos on YouTube.
