Janet Wilkins How To Write A Commendable GCSE Coursework?

Coursework writing is really not a peanut as I took it in the beginning when I was assigned a college coursework. It was really tough to find coursework help, even online coursework help. But you know internet is a magical world, sooner or later you come to the right place. So did I when I started searching online coursework help. But it took a lot of time of mine to find the exact material for writing my college coursework. It is very essential to have the correct guidelines for writing… Continue

Luke Allen It's That Time of Year!

October typically marks the start of my conference season, and this year has been no exception. If you've glanced at my schedule in the left sidebar, you may have noticed that I started with a new conference, at least for me, ITEC, in Iowa. Even a new conference, though, means some of the same familiar faces. After you've put in time doing conferences for several years, it becomes apparent that there is a hard-core of presenters who make the rounds year after year. I'm not referring to the Keyn… Continue

Luke Allen Here we go again

And It Starts Again! If it's Fall, I must be getting ready for the next round of Ed-Tech conferences again! So far, I have six conferences on my schedule for Fall/Winter. I'm expecting a few more opportunities to present themselves by the time Spring rolls around, but I certainly won't have to worry about keeping busy for the next several months. My "Keep It Clean!" session seems to still have some legs, after four years, and I'll be presenting it at two new, for me, conferences this season, ITE… Continue

Luke Allen For what it's worth

I've noticed a recent trend on several of the NING sites related to education and/or ed tech. It seems profiles are being created for "members" whose educational connections are dubious, at best. Some are promoting ways to make money from the use of various web sites, while others are promoting a service that will "help" you with all your dissertation needs. I would advise people to be on the lookout for these "members" and take care not to accept their friend requests. Some NINGS actively try… Continue
