Teaching Technology Videos

In response to the frequent request, "I want to see what other teachers are doing with technology," this page contains links to videos in which Ball State faculty members share their uses of teaching technologies like Blackboard. These videos use a previous version of Blackboard; we are planning to revise the project using Blackboard 9, but most of the instructional ideas and principles can easily be transferred between versions. If you have teaching practice you would like to share, please contact Greg Siering (gsiering@bsu.edu) in the Office of Teaching and Learning Advancement.(Mac users will need to install SilverLight to view this content; you will be prompted to do so automatically if needed.)
