The Chronicle: 10 techniques to Change Your Teaching
The Chronicle: 6/24/2005: 10 Techniques to Change Your Teaching
"The Chronicle dispatched reporters to classrooms across the country to find some of the most promising or unusual methods of teaching with technology."
You need a subscription to read the article - note it says this is about changing your teaching, not necessarily an improvement. (I couldn't resist making that comment.) The 10 items they list thought, are available through the portion of the Chronicle that's online at no charge.
