As it’s similar to Microsoft Word and other word processing tools, most of its features are intuitive to use. However, in addition to completing many of the functions of a traditional word processor, Google Docs provides even more capabilities that can be invaluable to educators. Share & Collaborate with Google Docs One of the most powerful features of Google Docs is that you can share and collaborate on documents with others. Sharing with individuals is relatively easy. Comments And Suggested Edits Sometimes, you don’t want to make changes on a document. Others can reply to your comments when they make changes or ask for clarification. Revision History One of my favorite tools in Google Docs is “Revision History.” Add-Ons Recently, Google released a suite of “Add-ons.” Leave Voice Comments Sometimes written comments are not enough.

MentorMob A Tasty Recipe: Butter Chicken – Tasty Kitchen Blog Note: By popular demand, we’re featuring this recipe again. Great reports across the board! I originally loved the looks of this recipe, submitted by Tasty Kitchen member lillieknits, because I knew I had almost all the ingredients in my kitchen (important, since I don’t live around the corner from a grocery store)…and because the sauce contained both tomatoes and cream. Yum. But after I made it…oh, boy. You need these spices…AND ground coriander, which I didn’t have in my pantry. Chop up several cloves of garlic. And throw everything in a mixing bowl! After marinating the chicken, dice up a whole onion. Heat 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter in a large skillet. Let the onions cook for several minutes… …Until they’re golden brown and translucent. Next, Add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook the chicken for a couple of minutes, then flip it to the other side. Pour in the tomato sauce… And the diced tomatoes. Right before serving, pour in the cream. Come on. And that’s it! Here’s the printable recipe:
Untangling the Maze of Social Media for Boomers : BoomerCafé™ … it's your place We like advice that keeps baby boomers with active lifestyles, active. Tim Cronin bills himself as The Value Marketing Coach, and he has some good advice for us about something some of us have been avoiding: Facebook, and how it has changed everything! Are you clueless about all the talk of Social Media Marketing? Dazed and confused about all the buzz regarding Facebook, Linked-in, Twitter, even YouTube? I’ve been a Facebook “person” for about three years now. If you’re one of the millions of Boomers who are currently unemployed or “underemployed,” I think Facebook and Linked-in are the best way to promote yourself. If you’re already a regular Facebook member and user, that’s great. Tim Cronin The fact is, whether you “get” Facebook or not, you might need to understand and tap into the power of this social media giant. That’s an unbelievable number of “eyeballs” that you as an internet marketer need to be in front of as much as you can.
Putting the Personal in Personal Statements: Tips from a NSF-GFRP Fellow | SHA Blog By Mia Carey Before my maternal grandmother suddenly passed of congestive heart failure in the early 1990s, our family would gather every Friday night to play cards and cook, while some members drank and told stories of the old days. My grandmother was the matriarch of the family, and I believe it was her cooking that kept our family as close-knit as it was. She was a gorgeous woman, fair skinned with dark bone straight hair which was indicative of her Native American heritage, who got up every morning at the crack of dawn to begin cooking. I remember the house always smelled of cake. Before I explain it, you should probably know that I am a historical zooarchaeologist. I opened with this particular snippet of my personal statement for two reasons: (1) I put the personal in personal statement and (2) I deviated from the same cookie cutter response to why and when I became interested in archaeology. My point in all this: Make your personal statement stand out and make it personal.
