Tech Tip Week! - Using Voicethreads in Online Courses

Readers,

I am actively looking for a free or low-cost software that would enable me to record my lectures and sync the recording with the Power Point slides for each lecture in the online class.

Here's a neat blog post titled, "Using Voicethread in an Online Course from Professor Russ Meade"

Do you use Voicethread?

Sincerely,

Tech Tip Week! - Run Your Profile Through Socio Clean

Readers,

Greetings! I am too excited about sharing this next blog post with you for today's TECH TIP!

I enjoy posting on Facebook and Twitter, but sometimes social networking website users need to "check" their profiles for potentially negative information.

Recently, the Texas Social Media Research Institute (TSMRI) contributed a post to their blog titled, "Give Your Social Media Account a Check-Up".

Using Socioclean, you can post the link to your social networking profile and the website will "grade" your profile.

Enjoy! What GRADE did you social networking profile receive?

Sincerely,

J. Edwards
