The ProfHacker Week in Review

This post wraps up another week of tips, tutorials, and commentary on pedagogy, productivity, and technology in higher education.

We certainly hope you found something useful from this week’s offerings:

• Natalie explained Why She Keeps an Idea Notebook.
• In two posts, Mark looked at Twitter backup: “Archiving Twitter on Your Own Server” and “Putting Twitter to Work with Thinkup”.
• I proposed “Working Backwards” as a way to design courses.
• In the latest iteration of “Writers’ Bootcamp,” Billie urged self-care as a writing strategy.
• This week was an excellent one for the more mundane aspects of life: George suggested strategies for simple little tricks we all use to get by. In other well-known office problems, Billie considered how lunches coexist in “The Office Fridge”, I looked at our odd relationships with office supplies, and Heather explained how to shoehorn irregular expenses into a monthly budget.
• In three posts that looked at new developments on ProfHacker-friendly sites or services, I checked in with Digital Humanities Questions and Answers, Ryan reported on the beta release of Scrivener for Windows, and Jeff brought word of Omeka.net.
• In Open Thread Wednesday, George asked for readers’ thoughts on must-listen podcasts.
• Finally, I closed the week with “Weekend Reading: Happy Halloween Edition.”

Have a great week!
