Yesterday I spent some time thinking about how to use Collaborate in my fall foundations classes (not sure about toleration), and put the final touches on my fall online class. I used Collaborate to record the welcome, and I am pleased with the result. I am likely to use it for the real-time chats as well. I still have to figure out how to use it in the classroom, but today I updated all syllabi and I do plan show it to them on the first day. I'm practically brain dead from all the syllabi revisions I made today, many more than the average semester. Tomorrow I have to get all the Blackboard materials ready, and I will be all set for the fall semester.
