Teaching Tools

I've added two new teaching tools to my regime this semester. 1. Skitch . Skitch is both a desktop application that lets you capture images easily, and a website that allows for easy image sharing . I'll use it this semester to capture images that we can discuss in class, and to take pictures of the blackboard at the end of class (to capture interesting brainstorming sessions). I can upload the pic via email, straight from my phone, and the students will have access right away. I can use the image capture software to circle parts of the reading, charts, graphs, etc. and bring those to the surface for discussion. 2. Slideshare . This program allows you to upload PowerPoint presentations to the Web. I uploaded all of my slides for the semester to one page where they can be accessed from any computer. It allows me to worry less about carrying the slides on a USB drive or having to upload them to the course Blackboard page, which sometimes doesn't open. It also makes fo...

Temple Email Basics

This post really just applies to folks at Temple University. As a Temple student, your initial email address may be set up as a random series of letters and numbers, such as TUR93847@temple.edu. That makes it hard for recipients to know who they are receiving emails from. Here are three easy steps to make your emails easy to identify! 1. In your email, click on the settings option. Then choose the option "Accounts." Then, under "Send Email as," click on "edit info." If your account is linked to multiple addresses, be sure to choose the correct address. Finally, enter your name and click on "save changes." 2. Still in the settings, click on "General." Scroll down to "Signature." Fill in a signature that includes your first and last name. You can also add other contact information such as an email address, business phone, or social media handles. Click on the box at the bottom that reads "Insert ...

Clutter

I hate clutter. Let's get rid of it. Pick a spot in your house or office or even computer that you want to de-clutter. Let's say we're de-cluttering a drawer in a home-office. Take out everything and put it all in one pile. Pick up each thing one at time and ask yourself why you have this thing. If you're going to keep it, you have to know why you have it . You should be able to name the purpose the object has and know when it will meet that purpose. The purpose of a yellow highlighter is obvious, but if you never highlight things, then it will never meet that purpose. It's clutter. This stapler and its little box of staples work like new. I've had them for years, I never use them. They have to go. Do you want them? Start a new pile of the things that have no clear purpose. If you are rigorous in surveying your stuff, this pile should get big quickly. Everything in this pile is going to go; we just have to figure out where it goes. Now, you're ...
