<h3>Classroom Tech</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
A number of people have asked me what technology tools I use in the classroom. It occurred to me that it might be useful to have a list:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x230/" target="_blank">Thinkpad X230 (I write all of my notes by hand in class)</a>
<li><a href="http://www.linuxmint.com/" target="_blank">Linux Mint</a>
<li>Google Hangouts (Office hours and live recordings of lectures)
<li>A clip-on microphone (I write on my laptop screen, so the built in microphone picks up the sound)
<li>A projector (built into the classroom)
<li>A remote linux server (students can run computer simulations)
<li>An mp3 dictaphone (so I can give spoken feedback on writing assignments)
<li>RaspberryPi (electronics labs and soon to be seen in Classical Mechanics)
<li>iPad + <a href="https://www.fiftythree.com/pencil" target="_blank">stylus</a>
<li>Dropbox (for posting assignments and PDF copies of the notes)
<li>Google calendar (embedded in this site so my schedule can be seen for appointments)
<li>This site :) (I just edit the html directly).
<li>Skype (students use this to do remote interviews of Research Scientists)
<li>Coursera and MIT OpenCourseware (I direct students here for additional resources)
<li>Sites like code academy etc (see bottom of <a href="teaching.html" target="_blank">this page</a> for a list)
<li>Google chat (graduate students + honours projects)
<li>github (to share code)
<li>Youtube (for hosting live lectures, pre-recorded lectures, and short video clips)
<li>Keynote, for the odd time I make a prebuilt figure
<li><a href="http://estore.canon.ca/shop/en-CA/catalog/scanners-copiers-fax/photo-scanners/canoscan-lide110-4507b003-24?gclid=Cj0KEQjwzK6hBRCbzLz_r_f-3tkBEiQA-zyWsHQijBPe4aYl3PRLw1VQssBQ6iqEAZaJyxj9WAIuQ00aAu3L8P8HAQ#.VCyc-yldXPg" target="_blank">A scanner</a>, when I need to include an image from a textbook
<li>gnuplot (for plotting)
<li>python (for programming)
</ul>
</td>
<tr>
<td>
I also have a few "rules" about technology in the classroom.
<ul>
<li>I don't use powerpoint. Students do not like pre-baked slides.
<li>I don't do live recordings unless there is a critical mass of students. Live recordings are done to help you remember, not so you can skip class.
<li>I'm not really a fan of phones, tablets, or laptops being used during lecture. I know taking notes with a tablet works for some people, but for most it just seems to be a distraction.
</ul>
