I currently use Smart Board technology in the face to face classroom when teaching computers and early childhood education. I have used it while connected to the Internet to show video from YouTube and interactive PowerPoint slideshows with links to websites and video. In my online classes, I can still use YouTube videos but I think I’ll be using TeacherTube.com more, thanks to the link provided by Dr. Sugar. I spent at least an hour looking around in there after reading about it in the lecture!
I would like to use more podcasting of my lectures in the future along with wikis. When my EDTC lesson plan group created a lesson plan, we used a wiki, which was completely new to me, but would be great to use in an online class. I want to learn more about how to create them and use them for group learning. I teach a Learning Theory class for lateral entry teachers in which I have used a couple Webquests I found on the Internet to teach multiple intelligences and other learning theories, but I would like to incorporate a wiki into the class, similar to what we did in the EDTC class.

I agree with you that TeacherTube.com is great. A couple of teachers at my school has viewed videos from that website. It is beneficial to see how other teachers deliver instruction for their students. If you see something successful in the video you can implement that practice in your class.
In my county--the teacher tube is blocked. But, I just download vidoes and save them to play later.
I would like to use the SMARTboard in my class. I've seen them and they are so cool. Some of the lucky teachers in our county have SMARTboards but not all, probably due to cost. Maybe the NC Educational Lottery can pay for them...?
I agree with you that the wiki experience is one of the great take-aways from this class. I've been an avid Wikipedia junkie for years, but it was nice to see how they actually operated. I see some potential there that I would like to explore.
I had not heard of Smart Boards until I took this class. After visiting the Smart products website using one of the class links, I was quite impressed with the products that are available to enhance the classromm experience.
It sounds like your classroom is quite dynamic.
