Finding and using online video in class (lab or smart classroom)
There are many sources of video. We'll focus on some interesting ones and a few of the technical details of getting access to them later, including offline, and displaying them in class. We'll also talk about some other choice activity picks from the MLL Student Links page.

Word processing without Word: Using Google Docs online to edit, store, and share documents
If you have a free Google account, you can take advantage of a lot of very practical functions, including online word processing, which is especially useful for the very mobile person or collaborative writing projects, such as with students.

Teacher Wikis and other mobile bookmarks
Many of you want your students to access a particular web site or resource without hunting for it. Currently, we maintain custom web pages of links for you, but you can easily and more conveniently do this yourself. The options we'll look at include custom CELOP Teacher Wikis, Google Bookmarks, and del.icio.us ("social bookmarking").

Using the new Canon copier to print and scan documents
The new Canon copier in the mailroom is also the easiest scanner to use at CELOP. Scanning a document (B&W) is as easy as making a copy of it. We can also look at using the color scanner in the Open Lab, if there's interest.
