Thing 16: E-books

I think e-books will replace print sources in decades to come. Think of the students carrying large book bags and having to wait in long lines at the campus bookstores. Students would much rather download an e-book for convenience. I do not own a kindle but the feature that appeals to me most is being able to adjust the font to a larger print.

Thing 14: Online Surveys

Surveys are a valuable tool which can be used to poll your customers as to what your overall satisfaction and performance levels are. It can also give insight into your failures and shortcomings and how to improve your overall performance.

Google docs forms is an easy way to create a survey.



Thing 8: Screencasting

Occasionally we instruct English classes on how to format research papers using MLA format in Microsoft Word. I found a helpful screencast explaining the basic functions.
