College Professors - The "Good" , The "Bad", and the "Under Improvement" - Top Ten Ways to Impress Your College Professor (Psychology Today)


Readers,

I admit, I am the professor who is "under construction". I am always on the lookout for new teaching techniques and tips to help my online and face-to-face students learn the course content. I am one of the only professors in my department who constantly checks out books in the library and via interlibrary loan to learn about new teaching methods to incorporate in my classroom.

This week is dedicated to a few teaching topics that are focused on GOOD TEACHING from various perspectives. The following video is definitely not an example of "good teaching":


Sincerely,

This week is dedicated to GOOGLE! It is "I Heart Google" week! Each day, I will feature a video focused on one of my favorite Google products! :) I have been a Google Voice user for the past two years!

I use Google Voice to...

1 - Communicate with students via text message.
2 - Read voice mail while attending a conference or walking across campus to my classes.
3 - Use one central telephone number that automatically calls my cell phone number during certain hours of the day.

What an amazing product! I REALLY like Google Voice!
