Thing #14: Podcasting and Bookmarking


I found a podcast called 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer By Roy Peter Clark. I used to always procrastinate when writing papers because I never learned the tricks and tips that are necessary to develop a well written paper. The amount of papers required in grad school has helped me somewhat get over this fear. There is always one paper after another so there’s not enough time to “fear the paper.” I have learned that the main key is getting your thoughts on the paper. Once your ideas are free from your mind, you can rearrange and reword them multiple times until they sound just right. I’m continuing to learn how to become more succinct writer so this series on iTunesU will be helpful in attaining my goal. I have such a long drive to school each morning, iTunesU is a great way to use my time wisely in the car.  Click on the picture below to experience this podcast.


I absolutely love using Pinterest! I have found some recipes that I am excited about making, especially some soups for the winter. I have also recently explored classroom ideas. I am a visual learner so I enjoy browsing by picture first before I click on the link to learn more about the project. 
My friends have always been very into Etsy. They have ordered various invitations and home goods from the site. I would always forget to browse the site until I started using Pinterest. Lots of these different home ideas I have found are from Etsy. I am very into the way burlap looks so I have found a wreath, bed skirt, and wall decoration that I really like. When I get the time, I’m going to learn how to make some of these items.
