Plugin Directory
can filter and see what's active or inactive
Caution: want to make sure it is compatible with the theme you're using
What to look for in plugin
compatible with version of wordpress
if only downloaded in the hundreds probably not worth the risk (10,000 - 15,000)
Can google top downloads for Wordpress
Featured posts and newletter are two they like
Widget
Drag and drop makes it easy
Can decide area you want them to go to
Can do manage other information with it (how many posts, width of thumbnail, featured or category)
Wysija (newletter) plugin recommended http://www.wysija.com/
Can pull in work you've already done instead of having to recreate
will do pages as well as posts
drag and drop
editing function pretty good
packaging archived sites and sending them out as a newsletter
have ability to subscribe (name and email)
Effective way to connect with others without bombarding with information (via email)
Trends in the industry
Training opportunities
Usergroups (lists) so that people subscribe to certain newletters
Contact Forms
Other functions
Still time consuming (more people the work can be spread out)

mlearning replacing elearning?
bring users together to share ideas and collaborate...find common apps including LMS app
http://goo.gl/JojVo
goo.gl or bit.ly for shortening (I use tiny url) (tiny url and bit.ly you can customize URL, but goo.gle gives you the QR code too)
http://goo.gl/JojVo
Merlot has a great app resource too of good apps: http://Goo.gl/hoor4
I definitely need to try out Storify
Vine (loosely combined with twitter)--very very short videos (6 seconds)
* Note for Kari: For Online Social Networking (About.me)
Toondoo.com
SlideRocket
Quick Office Pro
HaikuDeck

Video as QR code that we as a group uploaded, watched and then applied. Photo to come! But our group succeeded!

QR's are kind of hip now so if it helps engage students a little more and that's a cool.
Mobile learning for evaluation
Alot of potential for campus--harder to come up with ideas for online classes.
Some Ideas:
QR Scavenger Hunt
QR Quilt or Mosiac (to get to know each other, or pool videos or other resournces)
Back history of places (ie Why is the Chalberg Theatre named that--who was he?)
Students create a business card with a business card
I suggested creating a free blog just to have a website for content generation and page selection for URLs to use to create/make into QR code

PENN State

Cool. Above link page 3 has form creator for creating a self check with embedding code that we think we then just copy and paste into our D2L.
* Have to explore this!
Page 5 has Drag and Drop template
Can do text or images
Make the files and zip them up
clickable list generator--use with image
dynamic image--
* Could be cool for Windows & Mirrors integration
Great Presentation. Awesome sharable and usable resources. Hope the templates work for us in D2L. If they do, this one session was worth the cost of the conference! :) Thanks!
