Using New Technologies in Unexpected Ways

Abstract

New technologies - flexible, fun, and mostly free! Flickr is an image sharing program; but why not use it as an image discussion forum for an English class? Zoho is an online office suite. A librarian created a custom database for tracking reference stats and made it freely available, why not adapt it? Clickers can poll a class, but why not use them as electronic voting devices in tandem with an interactive video? What's next? Twitter haiku for poetry class? Chances are there is a technology that you can use to impress your faculty, wow your students, and have fun.
