Images
Do you want students to see many images to illustrate a single concept? Have your students do a Google Image search (http://images.google.com/) using keywords. Have them present their findings in class or in an online discussion board or personal blog.
Blogs
Would you like your students to write and reflect more on their experiences and ideas within the field? Have them create a blog!
Would you like students to read different viewpoints about topics in the field from “real people?” Have them search blog sites for topics in the radiography field.
Social networking sites
Don’t underestimate the importance of learning being “social” – the more your students “connect” with others in the radiography field, the better they may excel in your courses! Have your students become a member of a radiography social networking site:
Social bookmarking tools
Are your students doing research and compiling resources? Track their research by having them create social bookmarking accounts:
