Engaging Learners with New Strategies and Tools

CCC
Content-Online resources/Educational Journals/Instructors
Collaboration-Blogs/Workgroups/Online Networks
Communication-Skype/Podcasts/Educational Chatrooms 

All of these technological tools will work well in the learning environment.  Content area requires that there are resources available to acquire the information, such as educational technology journals and a medium to get that information.  An instructor would serve as a valuable knowledge base to receive that information and to get insight on what is in the future for education.
For collaboration, any type of networking where two or more students can share and receive information would benefit all.  Use of blogs, networking groups and associations and online networks that promote educational technology would serve as a great base to get started.
Communication is the key to establishing a solid base for acquiring this knowledge.  In the classroom and with online studies the use of Skype and other web cam tools is very beneficial. Podcasts are the new wave for putting out information on a widespread basis. Educational chat rooms serve as a great medium for sharing and getting involved in technology discussions that interest you.
