Hey Diane, I haven't had time to really look at all of this, but I'm hoping it will prove useful. What have you found?

I had my students create avatars this semester. Yahoo also allows you to create them for free. Then I had them add the avatar to their blog - which was also a requirement this semester. Thanks for the other tips - the visual dictionaries are cool -

Hi Diane,

With your work in Technology for Montgomery County CC, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

Here’s a Public Class on Technology Integration you might be interested in.
