I came across this site recently, and have quite enjoyed reading some of the peer-reviewed articles in it. This particular article, "Engaging Students with Engaging Tools," was quite informative, citing objectives and preparation for designing coursework (regarding the Middle East/North Africa and the teaching of newer technologies and social media at Dickinson College). He describes the tools used: Wiki, blogs, Twitter, etc., and discusses the challenges and benefits the students encountered.

Last spring, one of the class requirements was setting up an Evernotes account. I used it for the class, but have since found this tool. (Thanks again, Denvy - the searching for this class often pays off in unexpected ways.) I need to stop playing with the software and get back to the task at hand!
