**Bringing Innovative Tools to Your Desktop**
Cheri Jessup, League for Innovation in the Community College, Phoenix, AZ, USA, jessup@league.org

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

The presentation focuses 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 highlights favorite uses of the resources by current iStream subscribers.

After a quick overview, this session transitions to a walk-through of the resources found through iStream, including streaming video, publications, and project highlights from the League, and open educational resources (OER).

The presentation is organized around the needs of four key audiences: administrators, faculty, staff, and students, and 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 is invited to discuss additional uses of the materials and invited to explore the sites more deeply.

Questions and discussion are encouraged throughout the session.
