Collections

Share-Ling:

Repository of Teaching Materials designed by CUNY Linguistics GTF & Adjuncts for the classes we have taught.

CUNY Academic Commons Wiki:

Great source of resources, pros and cons of each. Best for early stages of planning a class or looking for a design improvement – can be a bit overwhelming if just looking for a quick fix.

CUNY Academic Commons

Resource for you to connect with other GC students. Make as many blog/webpages as you would like (this is a great format for hosting course materials if you opt out of blackboard)

Blogs

WordPress

Good for student blog projects. Handouts to get students started: Contact me for modifiable .doc files.

WordPress Part 1 & WordPress Part 2

Blogger aka Blogspot

Owned by Google. Many students are immediately comfortable with the interface – and can create webpages and wiki-type spaces. Everyone can be added, making contribution easy.

Blogger adding Authors

Podcasting

Voicethread

The free version allows you to record videos, put audio to slides, and host classes

Plaigiarism Detectors

turnitin.com

Your campus may use something different than this – email the librarians – they always know!!

Turnitin is by far the most popular – students upload their papers and turnitin.com reports back to you if there is a high chance it has been plaigiarized.

Citation Management & Research Tools for Students

Zotero

Free, open source and allows for collaboration & sharing.

Zotero’s Tutorial    Short Handout   Very Long & Thorough Handout

Invaluable tool for data and interesting points and topics to use in class. Great set for SQUIB ideas, points of interest, and resources to keep students connected with Linguistics in the world.

Multimedia in Your Class

Ted Talks on Language

The danger of a Single Story

I show this in all of my classes that relate to culture on any level.

Interview with Labov (20 mins)

RSA Animate – Language as a Window into Human Nature
