Freebie Friday! - Emergen-C Samples

Readers


I strive to keep a flawless attendance record in my classes and I am willing to take any natural supplements to keep myself healthy. One of my favorite colleagues recommended the Emergen-C product a few months ago. This product tastes great and it is a boost of vitamin C for the working woman (or man) on the go! 

Visit the website to request a few sample - http://www.emergenc.com/free-samples


I hope that I can stay well until my last final this semester! :)

Adopt This Technology - JoliPrint for Instant PDF Documents!

Readers,


JoliPrint (http://www.joliprint.com/) enables users to print webpages (documents, articles, etc.) without the color ads. This website would be helpful for instructors who teach online or hybrid courses, because they could post a link to the shared PDF document on blackboard (without uploading the entire PDF to their university's learning management system.


In addition, I plan to post job announcements on our Communication Studies Facebook and Twitter accounts via JoliPrint instead of saving the content to a Google Document and posting the link. Take a look at our current job postings! Become a fan of the Communication Studies Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/TarletonCOMSDept

Wandering Wednesday's Academic Blogger - Academichic - http://www.academichic.com

Readers,

I LOVE exploring new blogs and since our week-long program for Environmental Communication Week 2011 ended, I have had a few extra minutes in the day to explore a new blog, Academichic! Academichic is a neat blog dedicated to fashion in the academy! I love wearing suits on campus and this site is definitely one of my new favorites! Check it out!

Academichic - http://www.academichic.com

                    

This website has various categories, which range from "Night Without Grading" and "Office Hours" to "Pregnancy in Academia" and "Visiting Lecturer". Very neat! Let me know what you think! :)


This is the first post in a new weekly featured titled "Wandering Wednesdays", which highlights an academic blog or a neat academic website. Enjoy! Come back soon! :)


Sincerely,

Goo.gl - A New Url Shortening Website (Thanks LifeHacker)

Readers,


I read the LifeHacker website on a weekly basis and recently the website focused on Goo.gl (http://lifehacker.com/5791974/googl-url-shortener-adds-easier-copying-better-dashboard-controls), a new url shortener website on Google. This seems like a great opportunity for those of us who regularly use bit.ly or tinyurl.com for links in our online and/or face-to-face classrooms.

http://www.thewwwblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/goo-gl-shortener-extension.png

I always place a tinyurl link (after testing the link) beside each of the external links on Blackboard. Since every browser and every computer is different, this enables the students to access the links when clicking the link will not work for the student.


For example:


Action Item - Read COMS 101 Notes - http://www.tinyurl.com/COMS101CH1


Since I am a big fan of Google AND Tinyurl, I think this new Google Service might work for some instructors who wish to use a certain link, but the link title is already taken by another user. For example, if I needed http://www.tinyurl.com/COMS101SpeechNotes and the link was always taken on Tinyurl, I can use the COMS101SpeechNotes link on Goo.gl.


I hope this helps someone! Read the LifeHacker blog for more information...
