Getting projects turned in on time

Want something turned in three weeks from today? Tell them it is due in two weeks.  At the beginning of week two, tell them that you are willing to grant a one week extension for everyone, but they all have to be in at the end of week three.  You look like a hero, they feel like they have been given a gift, and many more come in on time than if you just asked for it in three weeks originally.

Instant feedback on presentations

Present something in a computer lab.  Have your audience ask questions or post comments as you go.  Remind them to keep it clean.

Online posters through Glogster

I have tried using Glogster a few times. It's a site that allows students to create blogs/webpages. It's really easy to use and has some fun details they can play with.
