announcements, cooltools

Just discovered I have a Twitter account for autonoblogger. Using Twitter’s tools, I added a “Follow Me” button to the RH sidebar. Not satisfied with this simple arrangement, I decided to do something more sophisticated: have WordPress automatically send my latest pearls of wisdom on this blog directly to Twitter. I’ve done this before on [...]

If you are looking for a website to help you teach academic writing to university students (whether EFL students or native-English-speaking students), I recommend those by Gavin Budge (Writing for the Reader), and by Andy Gillett: Academic Writing.

I just bought a new computer (Windows Vista) which comes with some very basic photo editing software (I’m also playing with Picasa to see if that will do the resizing and cropping that I want), the rather clunky Windows photo gallery (at least that’s what it’s called in Japanese), so when I read Larry Ferlazzo’s [...]

My computer died and took all my photos with it. Some are still alive, tho, on a couple of Flickr accounts I have. Downloading them 1 by 1 is such a pain, tho, that I looked around for an easier way, and found Flickrdown by Gregg Man. I could not access Gregg’s homepage, but was [...]

Plagued by students plagiarising?

I’ve been using Snagit, a Windows program that takes screenshots including grabs of scrolling windows, and they send me a newsletter every now and then. Today’s a link to a website that allows you to input some (student-written) text and see if it’s been plagiarised or not. I’ve no idea how it works, or if [...]

Performancing is a great tool. Want to blog about a web-page you’re looking at? Just right-click to bring up the Performancing Firefox add-on interface and start typing. Only problem is… it doesn’t work! Not with the new Google Blogger. Some problem with the fonts, I dunno. Anyway, I’m dumping it for the time being. More [...]

Your teaching environment

It’s a meme that’s going around. No-one tagged me (yet, boo-hoo), but this blog post by Eric, complete with neat Gliffy diagram) sparked my imagination. Where I work, we’re not allowed to put things on the walls or leave non-standard (i.e. personalized) furniture in any classroom. The classrooms don’t belong to any teacher, or any [...]

Written by autonoblogger on February 6, 2007 - 3 Comments
blogging, cooltools, edtech, web-based apps

Thru Borderland’s Google Reader feed I discovered WriteToMyBlog It looks cool, and I’m all for web-based applications. Only one problem – I can’t for the life of me get it to work! I always get an error message when I click “Manage posts” or “publish”. Can’t be bothered to write for help. Update: I take [...]
