 * Bringing Innovative Tools to Your Desktop**

The mission-driven League for Innovation brings new and innovative tools and multimedia resources to community colleges.

The presentation will focus on the online resources provided to administrators, faculty, staff, and students to support innovation, professional development, collaboration and research through the League's iStream community site. The overview will highlight favorite uses of the resources by current iStream subscribers.

After a quick overview, this session will focus on a walk-through of the resources found at iStream, including streaming video, publications, and project highlights from the League, and open educational resources.

The presentation will be organized around the needs of four key audiences: administrators, faculty, staff, and students and will focus on the benefits to be derived from the partnership in each of the following areas: Support for Innovation, Professional Development Opportunities, Tools for Collaboration, and Shared Resources and Research.

After a "show and tell" of the resources and some of the exemplary applications, the audience will be invited to discuss additional uses of the materials and invited to explore the sites more deeply.

Discussion will be encouraged throughout the session.
