WiFi & NYURoam Wireless / www.nyu.edu/its/wireless
NYURoam is NYU's secure, wireless access network, serving the community's need for convenient and flexible access to NYU-NET resources and the Internet. NYURoam wireless access is available throughout Bobst Library, and at many locations around campus (see www.nyu.edu/its/wireless/locations). Instructions on how to configure your computer to access NYURoam are available at the link above. (If you need help, ITS also offers hands-on NYURoam workshops: www.nyu.edu/its/classes).
Blogs & Wikis / nyu.edu/its/wikis.
Many faculty have found it easy to use one of two different websites to create class blogs, which can be closed to the class or public:
Wordpress.org Free, allows for a range of options and templates
Tumblr.com Free, easy for individual blogs that can be networked
NYU Wikis is a web-based collaborative tool that faculty and students can use to create and manage private and public content for research, instruction, and University-related activity, including:
Easy, instant editing: You can edit pages right in your browser.
Auto-save: Your work is always protected.
Version rollback: Revert to a past version at any time - NYU Wikis keeps page histories
Content Management: All attachments are fully versioned, with optional comments by their author - showing you when files were attached, by whom, and for what purpose.
In addition, The New York Times published a useful list of popular blogs and blog tools as well as information on wikis and podcasting for teaching purposes.
