Labs (9:00 – 9:25)

Using filters, you can automatically label, archive, delete, star, or forward your mail, even keep it out of Spam. Filters you set up in LCmail will automatically process your mail as it arrives – even if you use Thunderbird or another program to read and compose messages. Instant Messaging with Chat & Talk (9:55 – 10:15)The ability to instant message or “chat” is built-in to your LCmail account. Instant communication is not limited to text messages as Google Talk works with your built-in webcam to allow for Desktop Video Conferencing.

10:30–11:45am Use Video to “Flip” Your Classroom
The goal of the classroom flip or reversing the classroom is to use technology to spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing.

Class time can then be spent on activities that assist students in understanding and course material and applying what they’ve learned.
