Thing 16 Student 2.0 Tools




University of Minnesota Assignment Calculator is a tool I wish I had access to in graduate school. This sample was created for a virtual class in Education. The on-the-spot tutorial in QuickStudy Library Research Guide gives the students exactly the support they need on the day they need it. Then to link directly to Student Writing Support is just plain awesome. If we can teach our students self advocacy and a sense of self efficacy tools like this can add the support that students need to succeed. After getting so pumped up about this it makes sense that it is limited to students at the U of M however it also is nice to see that Edina students can use the Research Project Calculator and that it covers video, essay, and slide planning.
