I was teaching about Cloud Computing in IT 101 – or maybe I should say my students were teaching about Cloud Computing in IT 101.  I posted a slide deck up on VoiceThread, and asked them to read enough about the topics that they could add two comments to the slides.  Together, they would come up with the lecture.   They had to watch the collaboratively constructed lecture before class, and then in class, we talked more about some of their comments, clarifying buzzwords they might have used, or discussing questions that arose as a result of their readings and presentations.

Bill VanderClock and I spent the day making a 5 minute video describing the four IT101 options available to incoming freshmen at Bentley. The video will be played at orientation five different times. I wonder if it would have been easier to give the presentation in person. Lucky for me, we didn’t save the blunders.
