Freebie Wednesday! - Chili's: Free Brownie Sundae with Entree Purchase


Readers,

If you have a week filled with meetings next week, try moving one of your meetings to Chili's Restaurant. It is a fun and welcoming atmosphere for meeting with groups of students or faculty. Plus, there is at least one Chili's restaurant in almost every college town.

Here is a coupon for ONE FREE BROWNIE SUNDAE with entree purchase - LINK. This coupon expires on February 10, 2011.

Plus, I tell my students about any simple discounts for their Valentine's dates. They really appreciate the tip and it is interesting that they view you as an actual human if you are striving the save money - because they are on a limited budget as well. :)


Enjoy!

Google Docs to the rescue | Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning


Readers,

As most of you know, I am an avid user of Google Documents. I try to learn as much as I possibly can about this wonderful online software package. A university in my area, Texas Wesleyan University, has a great blog titled, "Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning". One of their recent entries (as part of their series titled 12 days of CETL: Tips for the Holiday Season) focused on Google Docs to the Rescue


In her post, this professor (Dr. C) tells her readers how she uses Google Docs for organizational purposes (i.e. - writing book chapter manuscripts, working within their office, etc.). In addition to her experience with Google Documents, she also created a Google Doc (go figure) consisting of various links and resources for educators who are interests in using the resource in their classrooms.
