Faculty are invited to register for this summer's instructional technology workshops which focus on on incorporating personal response devices, using web based video, and emerging instructional uses of blogs, wikis, and podcasts.

The workshops range in format from a demonstration and discussion over lunch to hands on workshops. The topics were chosen based on requests from faculty over the past year and emerging trends of instructional technology for liberal arts colleges.

Register online. Register for any or all of these workshops online at http://oet.allegheny.edu/rsvp.html.

Register today! There are limited seats for each workshop and registration is on a first-come first-serve basis.

According to Blogging Pedagogy there is a more sophisticate YouTube out there. It is called fora.tv.

The description on FORA is
FORA delivers discourse, discussions and debates on the world's most interesting political, social and cultural issues, and enables viewers to join the conversation. It provides deep, unfiltered content, tools for self-expression and a place for the interactive community to gather online.

If you are looking for web video of politics and social issues to bring into your class this might be a good place to look.
