Well I have been going through the tons of ideas I have found both online and in instructor's manuals to select what I want to do during each class. I am a bit nervous because I don't know how long it will take to go through many of these critical thinking activities, but I think I have plenty of back ups just in case. I think the hardest about this is narrowing down the notebook full of ideas for the semester.
One of the neat things I found in an Open Resource Site was case studies that were specific to a number of disciplines. http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/ You just have to do a search for your area. They come with answers and teacher's notes once you join. This is probably one of my favorite finds.
I also decided to use Psy 101 podcasts from iTunes University. I am creating a study guide for students to fill out as they listen. I think this will ease their anxiety about no book and it will also save classroom time of finding the info. They are only around an hour and a half, and they will listen to one a week, so it is becoming a traditional flip.
Well, back to work!
