Podcasting

I have made and posted a podcast before and I think that it would be a great tool to use in a classroom. For example you could record your lesson every day and post it to a website, then if a student is gone they could access the site, download the podcast, and then they would have your lesson from that day. 

D2L

I think that D2L is the best CMS website by far, it has the best user interface, and is the all around easiest to use. I have talked to people who have used both Blackboard and D2L, and they say that D2L is the by far the best site.
