 This week, The CTLA's own Kali Andrews, Instructional Designer, joined us to share one of her favorite tools - Padlet! Kali shared the basics of setting up Padlet, strategies/activities, two ways to include your live Padlet discussion wall within Canvas, and her thoughts on free (Padlet Basic) vs. paid (Padlet pro).

You all know that I am the biggest advocate ever for free tools, but this week I want to share one of the most-used tools in my arsenal, which did in fact cost me about $30 - TechSmith's SnagIt.
A lot of software companies these days work on a subscription basis, but the $29.99 education price pays for a license, not a periodic subscription fee (you will need to provide proof that you are an educator in order to take advantage of the education pricing). I use SnagIt pretty much on a daily basis, for many tasks:
 This week we looked at recommended practices when creating presentation slides, AND gave three awesome resource sites for you to find ready-made slide templates! There are basic slide decks, slide decks for games, hyperdoc slide decks - you name it, you'll be able to find it!
This week's post is in response to a question that I received recently about the best hardware to use for recording. Anyone who knows me will be able to guess my response: "It depends!"
 This week in LOL, we collectively made our first foray into Webex Breakout Sessions! As this feature has only been "live" for Maricopa Webex Meetings for about 2 weeks, there are still some questions we may not immediately have the answers to - but if you do have questions after watching the video, be sure to use the "LOL Suggestion Box" form to let us know, and we'll try to find the answer(s). The 40 minute video below includes the host [instructor] perspective, the participant [student] perspective, and a brief view of what Webex will record if you are using Breakout Sessions (no, you cannot record the individual breakouts at this time).

Yes, that's right - Scott Adamson and April Ström will be with us next week to showcase the work they've been doing in their online classes! Tuesday, 9/29 | 2:30-3:30PM (session room opens 15 minutes prior to start time) No registration necessary.

Remote teaching can turn into an expensive gig. But do you know who is always on a tight budget, and really knows how to think outside the box? Teachers, that's who! Laptops, webcams, document cameras... working from home can be effective, but it also takes work and often some specialized equipment. That gets expensive - and even if you don't mind spending the money, the demand is very high so it can be a challenge to get hold of the hardware that you want. Fortunately, there are a lot of clever (and determined!) teachers out there, and luckily for us, they share on social media!
Let's take one example that the CTLA has been fielding questions about - the document camera. No doc cam? No problem!  CGCC faculty spoke, and we listened! By going through all of your feedback from this Summer’s ten Base Camp sessions, we learned that many of you want to know more about teaching online – in particular, teaching Live Online. So we’re cooking up a new weekly series to meet your needs:
