  1. Blog benefits: Subscription distribution   Timely but fast , yet if written with longevity in mind, archived, categorized and searchable entries make old entries salient. Good way to get students to write/journal as part of e-portfolio Comment feature is a good way to get informal feedback Blog Pitfalls Creating/editing takes time Keeping them timely and interesting as well as instructional Spam on comments – to prevent must have users register

  3. RefShare & Delicious benefits: Allows web access to favorite research/resources from anywhere, Allows “sharing” of resources with collaborators anywhere – also allows a librarian to generate a constantly updating pathfinder on a topic. increased communication between students & faculty and between scholars both within & among institutions. Natural segue for talking about Citing Sources & Avoiding Plagiarism Delicious & RefWorks pitfalls Delicious is mainly for websites, RefWorks for databases and catalogues. They don’t “communicate” well. RefWorks is proprietary, have to pay after graduation Both are potentially unwieldy if organizing tools not used
  4. Skype benefits: Low technology   learning curve, makes participation outstanding ! Alternate formal communication channel, for when courseware is malfunctioning but also acts as an informal communication channel : IM service but also allow voice-in-real time for free History feature saves “chats” and serves as a good way to capture informal and formal feedback and a way to track requests over time; allows sending tutorial links at point of need, later accessible for rubric grading Allows attachments for documents and pictures – helps in troubleshooting Skype Pitfalls Unsolicited “callers” on SkypeMe mode – to prevent this, users register and must be accepted as a contact
