Readers,

I cannot wait to purchase this new device! It is a wireless drive made for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch devices. This device can store up to 300 movies and I plan to load the device with many of my wonderful photos that are filling my iPad and iPod touch. I wonder will this device store anything besides photos, videos, music, and videos.

We shall see! I think the device will have great educational uses for professors on the go! Access the article here - http://content.usatoday.com/communities/technologylive/post/2011/05/look-ma-no-wires--seagates-new-hard-drive-for-ipad-iphone-and-ipod-touch/1?csp=Tech.

Freebie Friday! - Download the Moleskine App (Electronic Writing)

Readers,

I love quality stationary materials like Moleskine and Circa, because I am able to integrate these materials into my personal and professional life. Now, Moleskine
is offering a FREE iPhone/iPad application for users. I downloaded this application a few weeks ago and I love the functionality!

I can type documents and integrate pictures/handwriting into the electronic document. Love it! :) I WILL use the Moleskine app to write scholarly papers and perhaps an electronic journal.

From College to Career - Helping College Students Prepare for their Post-College Career

Readers,

One of my favorite times of the year is the biannual graduation ceremony. I love to see our students walk across the stage to end one part of their lives and to begin a new journey as a post-college professional. I take pictures like I am a family member and I post these pictures on our department's Facebook page. However, before I start celebrating the students' accomplishments on their graduation day, I start working with the students on the application process and I emphasize the importance of networking.

This semester, we read one of my favorite books, "From College to Career" by Lindsay Pollack. This has been one of the best career-related books that I have ever read. In addition, after the class presentation focused on the book, several students wanted to purchase the book for their personal libraries.

In addition to the presentation on the book, I wish that I could have shown the students this presentation from ABC News:

Enjoy!

Wandering Wednesdays - Mobile Computing 5-Day Sprint (Electronic Resources)

Readers,

A couple of weeks ago (April 25-29, 2011), EDUCAUSE sponsored a Mobile Computing 5-Day Sprint. Unfortunately, this wonderful opportunity was held during the busiest part of my semester.

Here are some ideas from the sprint - http://educause.ideascale.com/

Each day had a different emphasis!
