Caffeine for the Classroom: Intriguing idea

One of the most productive and interesting sessions I attended at the NECC Conference in San Antonio this summer was Dr. Cheri Toledo's from Illinois State University whose topic was the use of online discussion questions. I have tried this using turnitin.com's discussion board and found it had merit and was successful but now I have a greater appreciation of this technology tool and have gained some valuable tricks of the trade. This will be one of the new ideas I try after the first year of the grant since I am locked into those lesson plans. However, it is possible I can use this more immediately as I see how time allots itself. In the meantime, I feel I gained a valuable new insight and idea for technology use.
