Intergenerational Transfers Presentation – Again

College Service/Committees, Community Service, Presentations

I repeated the Intergenerational Transfers presentation to Jill Reglin’s writing classes today.  It’s especially timely given the efforts by some well-heeled Wall St types and some “journalists” to convince college-age students that somehow older Americans can only benefit if younger people lose – a pit-the-generations-against-each-other concept.  But that’s not really how it works.

Blogs! What Are They and How They Can Help Professors and Students

College Service/Committees, Presentations, Professional Development

I’m giving a presentation/workshop at LCC Center for Teaching Excellence on Oct 15, 2013 about Blogs! What Are They and How Can They Help You and Your Students? From the description:

Come to this session and learn what “Blogs” are, how they work, how you can use a blog to help your students and improve your teaching, while saving yourself time. Blogs are free and easy to setup and manage. If you don’t have a blog of your own, you will learn how to obtain one and get started using it. Participants will leave with ten different ways blogs can save time (and paper). If you already have a blog, come and share your experiences and we’ll make the list longer!

For the presentation itself and some useful notes, see the Blogs! presentation page.
