Applications for Education While I prefer to guide teachers in the direction of teaching their elementary school students not to reveal personally identifying information on classroom blogs, I also recognize that sometimes the only way a teacher will try blogging is if they can restrict access to just students and their parents.

CinePaint Triple Your Productivity Tomorrow | PickTheBrain Is work slowly suffocating you? To-do lists, projects and random chores all piling up until they surround you? When this happens, your best strategy is to get ahead. How do you do this? I’ve done hundreds of these Project-Kill days, so if you’re looking to start your own here’s how: Wake Up Early – If you aren’t normally an early riser, set your alarm clock early. Morning Exercise – This isn’t strictly necessary, but I find starting my early day with a run or even some push-ups in my room is another great way to build momentum. Create a Fixed To-Do List – Before you start the day, write down all the things you need to accomplish. Isolate Yourself – Most of my work is solitary. Cut the Cables – Television, web, Facebook, phones and instant messengers all go offline during your day. Big Rocks First – Leo of ZenHabits has an excellent strategy for organizing your work. No Mid-Task Breaks – Breaks of any kind should be minimized during your day.

Alvaro Fernandez: 10 Habits of Highly Effective Brains - Living on The Huffington Post If you are reading this, the good news is that you have a brain inside your head. And you have probably read about the emerging brain fitness movement: frequent articles in the media, an ongoing PBS special, more and more products and games. Newsweek's Sharon Begley recently wrote that "With the nation's 78 million baby boomers approaching the age of those dreaded "where did I leave my keys?" moments, it's no wonder the market for computer-based brain training has shot up from essentially zero in 2005 to $80 million this year, according to the consulting firm SharpBrains." Now, before you embark on buying any of those programs, you should know that there is a lot we can do without spending a dime.

FontDoctor for Macintosh Shorthand Program for Mac Hello all. Newb on the loose here. I just purchased my first Mac (PB) and I am loving it. This is my situation. I am a medical transcriber and I have to use my employer-supplied computer to do my work (PC)...boo hoo. On the up side, they have provided us a great program for shortcuts called Shorthand for Windows and I absolutely love it. I have been reading about Spell Catcher for Mac, but I am not sure if this is what I really need. Anyway, anyone know of such a program for Mac? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Kimberly I actually e-mailed the folks at Shorthand for Windows and they recommended TypeIt4Me. I wish I could make a keyboard shortcut or sidetrack tap to open up "Edit Entries" for that program. Anyway, if anyone is looking for a fast shorthand program, TypeIt4Me is pretty good.
