Summary of last year’s blog posts

Last year was our first full year of blogging. The feedback we’ve received is wonderful and is helping us identify topics that we think might be interesting to you, our readers. In case you missed last year’s posts, here are some of the highlights:

• Cell phones for brainstorming in the classroom
• Word clouds with Wordle
• Adobe Connect for desktop videoconferencing
• RefWorks for building bibliographies
• Minimizing physical stress caused by extensive computer use
• Doodling for meetings instead of at them

If there are topics that you'd like to see covered in the blog, please leave a comment on the blog.
