			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve come across a variety of tools that I&#8217;ve been testing in my personal life as well as seeing how it may apply to academia. The first such tool is <a href="http://www.posterous.com">posterous</a>. In a nutshell this is a quick blogging platform that allows for simple, yet elegant media publishing.</p>
<p>I co-teach a course for a group of honors students, and one of the exercises we have them do is to output a short powerpoint presentation to enable them to share the content on their iPods. I found this tool to be a tremendous asset for me to display their final output in a quick, relatively uniform way, also adding capability for them to critique each others content. I just gave them the post e-mail address, they composed an e-mail with their photos attached. I received a request to post through my e-mail as well as the posterous administrative interface, and after I approved the post, <a href="http://unlnmc.posterous.com">all the work</a> was done for me.</p>
<p>On the personal side, I coached Ryan&#8217;s first grade soccer team this year. I used this as a tool, along with sms and e-mail to push updates as to when soccer practice was canceled, changes in schedules, etc. I didn&#8217;t formally ask the parents what they thought of my process, though for me it was major time saver.  None the less, we only lost 1 game the entire year. Go Magic!</p>
