Bells and Whistles

In-between all the research I’ve been working on at Cleveland Clinic, I’ve also been setting up my classes on Blackboard. This will give my students access to the notes they need for class, PowerPoint lectures presented in class, videos, and animations. I would also like to incorporate a discussion board where students can post questions on topics they do not understand and other students can post answers.

I have also incorporated Turning Point into the slides which will allow the students to interact with the presentation by answering a question posted on a slide by simply pressing on the appropriate answer on their personal remote control device. I used this in some of my classes last year and the students really seemed to like them.
