Dual Monitors

Dual Monitors!

If you work online all the time....you may want to look into getting a second monitor. I hesitated going this route but I have to tell you it has really made my life so much easier. You can be grading papers and entering in the grade at the same time in the grade book. Or answer an email while looking right at quiz the student has a question about. :)

A second monitor will cost you from $125 to 350$ depending on the size. I have a 24 inch Samsung. To hook it up to your existing laptop is very easy. It opens up a whole new world of productivity!

I hope you find this type helpful!

Thank you,

Welcome Videos to your students

Jing is a fabulous site that is EASY and FREE to use to make short videos. Please view the one below I made for my students this semester.

Sending this to all of my students the first day of classes has made my first weeks of much easier since the sheer number of questions from my students has decreased significantly. Another bonus? This increases our online learner engagement levels by providing them the tools and expectations right up front as well as voice/face of their educator. :)
