iTech for Student Success

This semester I have taken a different approach to my usual instructional technology inservice offering. Usually I am burdened with Blackboard updates (yawn) or I have to train on a particular instructional technology. This time, I decided to stick with the theme of the inservice which is "Student Success." I believe that technology has a great impact on student success, so why not do a session on instructional technologies that can facilitate student success?? Instead of creating a PowerPoint presentation or a handout for this session, I used Google Sites to create a website that housed all the great ideas I will be presenting! Find the site here: http://sites.google.com/site/itech4success/home. I took the approach of identifying key factors in student success and then matching them up with an instructional technology solution. Go take a look and let me know what you think!
