This Week's Playlist for Grading Papers!

When I busy grading speeches and papers. I HAVE to listen to music OR watch a good movie. For some reason, this helps me focus on the task at hand. I know that I only have a playlist or a movie worth of grading to complete, so the process begins and ends when the playlist/movie is complete. Enjoy!

Advertising Your College Courses... An Innovative Way!

I placed this blog entry under "technology in the classroom", but I should have placed it under a category titled "advertising your college courses". I think this is a great way to advertise your college courses AND to SHOW what you do in your classrooms.

Besides, who actually reads those e-mail advertisements for new courses anyway?

Do You Experience Information Overload? Here's a remedy! - A Video of Coping Strategies

I experience information overload EVERY morning and evening. I have five e-mail accounts, four courses on blackboard, a facebook account, a myspace account, linkedin account,

In addition, I participate in scholarly writing at least two times daily, engage in virtual office hours 5+ hours a week, update two blogs on a weekly basis, and I usually respond to e-mail within a 24 hour period. This amount of information becomes overwhelming to me, especially when people expect an instant response.


This week, I will attempt to adopt some of the strategies introduced in this video - "The Digital You: Attention, Multitasking and Addiction" - Frontline.
