Helpful stuff for any Writing Center on any campus.  Have students use this first then follow up with what they found out. Jane,  would this work for you?

Infobesity?  Is this a fair comparison?  Are our students fat but malnourished?  If so, what are we going to do about it?

Saturday Sprints « History Compass Exchanges

I am a ‘runner’ and use the cool new Nike + GPS app. I love the cheers that I get from Facebook family and friends with the program. Ridiculously fun and silly. Now I run across a different kind of run that has as its goal a sprint to complete paper grading. Read the blog post below (it is very short) and then do an academic sprint with someone on Twitter. Join me today as I grade argument papers or on Saturday as I grade explication papers.
