Maybe you should use ads from Prosperent network. They pay based on sales not a clicks!!! That means way better money than adsense or any PPC:) If you are interested send me an email. I will send you invitation code. Cheers. Great looking site! Maybe you should use ads from Prosperent network. They pay based on sales not a clicks!!!

I agree that as educators we need to find the balance of technology in our classes whether online or traditional. I value and enjoy reading your perspective. -Loren Thanks for the comment Prof Kim.

It's a constant question all instructors face. How do we make things more exciting and interesting? And yet, how do we know that something didn't work because it's ineffective or because it was simply not timed well? Sometimes, in online education (I teach online) we tend to go overboard with the technology -- chat, Twitter, webcams, etc. The students can get overwhelmed because they don't know which to click first or how to navigate through a sea of information. It seems there are pros and cons to many educational tools. Technology is great, but there is a bit of a trial-and-error approach to things -- as always. Thanks for your exploration of these ideas. --Kim Onlineprofessor.today.com This is really an interesting discussion about when and where to use multimedia.

Sometimes, in online education (I teach online) we tend to go overboard with the technology — chat, Twitter, webcams, etc. The students can get overwhelmed because they don’t know which to click first or how to navigate through a sea of information.

It seems there are pros and cons to many educational tools. Technology is great, but there is a bit of a trial-and-error approach to things — as always. Thanks for your exploration of these ideas.
