help students learn.

2. Prezis allow for
images, videos, text,
hyperlinks and so
much more.
Prezi: http://prezi.com/89xv0shetrmf/vietnam-war/ (navigate at your own pace)
Video: http://employee.heartland.edu/tmullin/vietnamfull/vietnamfull.html
(16 minutes long; Please watch at least 2:46 for the interactive assessment)
For example: decision trees are
so simple to zoom in and out
that you’ll know where you are
at all times.
Please watch 2:46 of the
Vietnam video link above as an
overview of screen capture
technology and built in
assessment.
Prezis, Polleverwhere, and
more are further in the video
and should give you plenty of
new ideas on how to use
technology. Explore the
possibilities.

3. Use of videos on controversial topics instead of
reading 20-page handouts. It is easy to make
your own videos with today’s technologies.

them.)

4. Accounting videos for each topic in each
chapter.
https://usfconnect8.stfrancis.edu/mbad521/ (click to go to this site)
The videos are constructed to take
complex ideas and put them in
logical sequential order that the
students can understand (the art of
teaching) all in a web based video
format to play when they
want, where they want, and on the
device they want. I have been using
these videos for over 10 years.

5. Using PollEveryWhere.com allows students to use
their computers, laptop, Ipads, and smartphone to do
instant assessment of their learning in real time.
(click to see more on next slide)

6. The answers pop up in real time so you the instructor can
address what the students’ concerns are for each topic.
Because it is real time, students know the answer to their
questions before they leave the classroom.

7. Reviewing
exams and
quizzes
http://employee.heartland.edu/tmullin/
StFrancis/quizSCF.html
(click to go to this video website)
Using Camtasia, a screen capture
technology, instructors can bring up
the quiz in Blackboard, tell the
students what the correct answer is
and why, tell them why the others
answers are incorrect and annotate
the learning process. They learn not
one right answer but 4 answers
where one is right and 3 are wrong.
Watch it live at the above address.

8. Time Value of Money
Tutorials
in English and Spanish!
http://employee.heartland.edu/tmullin/PellGrant/TimeValueOfMoney/Examples.htm
(click to go to this video website)
The time value of money is a difficult topic. I
made a video that explains the concepts than
provided 8 examples on how to use this
concept. Here is the first example in English
(lower left) and in Spanish (lower right). When
the student wants to see and hear the
answer, he/she clicks the Check
Answer/Respuesta button below the answer
choices.
(continued next slide)
(Click to go to the next slide)

9. Once students click the “Check
Answer” button, they get a video
that walks them thru step-by-step
as to what the answer is and how it
was derived.
The students comment that they
really like the annotations because
they can easily follow along. Some
even stop the video to make their
own calculations then continue to
see if their answer is correct.

10. Catering to our visual Millennial
learners.
Here is a partial list of 31 videos that my management class had to choose
from for a final paper. Are your lists like this? Do you think this would be
helpful?

11. Cabrillo Has Talent!
Never underestimate what our students can do, young or old. They will
amaze you if we just give them the tools and understanding they need.

13. The race to give our students the best learning
experience that we can is on…
