Corina, It is good to know you still have the same passion you had before. Many times as faculty we must use various methods to keep the student engaged as many learn and gain interest differently. I often switch from lecture to group discussion to hands on learning every 15-20 minutes to hopefully get the classroom on its toes. Antoine Lewis

Bill, Cloud systems seem to be a good way to back up data and keep it safe. This is very important for learning management systems like blackboard for student records Antoine Lewis

Brandy, I agree that many times showing PowerPoint is not always simple to understand unless you add pictures, relevant content and your voice recorded if an online course. I am often asked what the most effective classroom technology is. I understand that opinions will vary, but I believe the best technology depends on the instructional goal but the instructor must be comfortable with. Antoine Lewis

Kathleen, Paralegals are more popular within the law profession than in years past. After doing my own research I see that LexisNexis and Westlaw is a form of classroom technology that is very useful to legal professionals. With classroom technology evolving I foresee instructors teaching law with web based simulations so that students can act as lawyers in a role-playing situation. A good read is papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1865880 Antoine Lewis

Jacalynn, Good to know that you provide videos as many students have different learning styles. The iclickers feature seems to be one that more institutions should use from what you have described. Being able to successfully assess who may not understand the course material is an important tool for faculty. Students appreciate timely and quality feedback which allows them to gage how well they are doing in a course and shows them you want to see them be successful academically. Antoine Lewis

Chris, It is good to know that you are using methods of visual learning. More and more institutions are using technology such as slideshare as a resources as it is in demand from younger students and many learn more effectively from a video versus text. A great tool and website is Adobe as they have tools that allow you to record, create webinars and tutorials also. Thanks for sharing and explaining the methods you are using. Antoine Lewis
