  • Mentoring: Functions, Roles, and Interactions The world of academe can be a bewildering place for new faculty members. When it is, they often look to their senior colleagues for help. This time-honored practice—mentoring—has both formal and informal aspects, and, when done right, benefits both mentors and their protégés. This issue’s Thriving in Academe looks at the rewards and requirements for both parties.
  • Rethinking Expectations About Assignments It's frustrating for professors when students haven't done their out-of-class assignment. Too often, the students just don't take their homework seriously. But there's hope for frustrated professors, this issue's Thriving in Academe authors claim.

Prezi - Ideas matter. - 0 views

  •  
    Prezi is a cloud based presentation software that opens up a new world between whiteboards and slides. The zoomable canvas makes it fun to explore ideas and the connections between them. The result: visually captivating presentations that lead your audience down a path of discovery. I have been using prezi for the past 3 years and with each update there is a shorter learning curve. More creative than power point presentations. MOT students who are more "right" brained and more global than linear in their thinking and learning seem to embrace the prezi format.
