Lauren Vaught, 20, a junior at the University of Florida, doesn't have fond memories of the first few weeks of her freshman year when she had to carry around a campus map and ask upperclassmen for directions to her classes.
"This campus is so massive that navigating around it can be tricky," she said.
But three years later and thanks to a new iPhone application, students and visitors to UF's 2,000-acre campus will be able to easily maneuver their way around with a couple clicks on their smartphone's touch screen.
The app, called "UF mobile," features a GPS-enabled campus map, a feed from the UF news Web site, the events calendar from the Reitz Union Web site and access to UF's directory, all in one convenient location.

Second Life
I am just beginning to explore in Second Life. But, I think it could be a great tool for online collaboration between instructors and students, as well as fellow students in an online course.
It may take some time to get used to, but it could add lots of collaborative value to a course :)
Online Office Hours
I am trying to compile a list of online office hour options. Here is one I found that is FREE!
Agora: seems easy, simple, and functional for any meeting.

Twitter
Many of you have probably heard about "tweeting" but today I heard about a new way of using Twitter. One faculty member in the College of Business at Notre Dame has his students use twitter to "tweet" about the readings prior to coming to class. Then he uses a script to create a tag cloud based on the student tweets. Clicking on a word in the tag cloud takes you to the student tweets where the word is found.
