6 Things to Remember When Cramming for Finals - Some of the advice here might seem pretty obvious, but study skills are usually not the type of thing anyone is close to perfecting any time soon– so any advice is good advice. Take a peek at this list of 6 things that might help you or your students focus enough to ace those finals. From CollegeScholarships.org
50 Top 10 Lists of 2007 - Normally, I wouldn’t put this kind of hooey on an upstanding site like our own, but this list is actually as fun as it is informative. Plus, with Time Magazine behind the wheel, these lists are actually interesting and well put together. The topics range from categories such as News, Entertainment to Business, Tech & Sports. This might inspire your students to come up with their own Top 10 lists, or it might just serve as a reminder of all of 2007’s best (and worst) moments.
13 Web Based Word Processors - Personally, I am about at the end of my rope with Microsoft Word. It feels familiar and yet archaic at the same time. With so much open-source software and web based applications, it seems a shame to waste what’s available for free. So, how do you decide how and when (and to what) you’d like to make the change? This guide from Lifehack might be a great place to start. My current crush is on iNetWord.
