Christopher, I see that you are committed and have experience with various technology to make the classroom experience even more interactive. I enjoy using drop box myself and YouTube. Many of the other tools I will have to check out. If you have not already done it could be beneficial to share these tools with fellow faculty members at your institution. Antoine Lewis
