Great app for the iPad to encourage good behavior. When student completes their work two days in a row, I give them fifteen minutes of Angry Birds time on the Ipad.

What Has to be Done?

So, you have to write 10000 words in seven days. Along with an in-depth research and writing, you will also have to get your dissertation bound. So, complete your research and writing in the first 5 days and leave the last two days for binding. You actually need only one day for printing and binding but don’t leave binding till the last day and therefore do not plan on getting it bound on the seventh day. Because if you couldn’t finish writing your dissertation in first 5 days then you will have one extra day to complete it. So, here is a plan that will work but requires hard work and dedication:

Divide Your Work in Days:

You should divide your work in days as it will allow you to narrow down your project and organize it in a better way. You have two options:

i) You should finish your dissertation in 5 days and leave the last two days for editing and getting your dissertation bound. So, if you write 2,000 words a day, you will easily be done in 5 days and it won’t seem like much work as compared to thinking about 10000 words in a week. Basically you will be writing 8 pages everyday, each page with 250 words. But do you want to both research and write 2000 words everyday?

ii) If you don’t want to do both everyday then you can do your research in first 2 days. Collect all the material in two days and write your dissertation in next 3 days. This way you will be writing around 3300 words everyday, that means around 13-14 pages everyday which is still not bad.

The best time to write your dissertation is early in the morning. Wake up early and start writing it.

Ask Your Friends to Contribute:

It’s time you ask your friends to contribute and help you with your research. If you can only get a few friends to help you with finding relevant matter, it will facilitate your dissertation writing process tremendously. You need to remain calm and relaxed.

I have one student who is not able to accept the invite and I can't figure out why. I have tried to invite him now with three different emails, but to no avail. He gets the invitation, but when the wetpaint pop-up comes up, he gets the members only page. Has anybody else had this experience or know what to do?

I could not add my wiki address to the above chart. So I'll try this method of communication.

Please check out http://englishingle.wetpaint.com/

It's an interdisciplinary source for students and teachers to get ideas for short essay assignments, especially argument and opposing views. It includes (and could include more) tips for writers. There are topics and articles ranging from "advanced medical directive" and "cryptozoology" to "SETI" and "Supreme Court Cases". The site can also help students and teachers avoid and detect unintentional plagiarism by having readers and writers in the classroom share the same online sources.

The courses I teach instruct on how to use database software and how to understand databases in general. Some of the concepts, particularly that of normalization, are difficult to explain. Using a blog for tough concepts such as normalization, sorting, and queries would be a good way to have everyone describe their problems and supply explanations in their own words that might be different and better for them to understand than my words might have been. The type of blog I would use would be a Class Blog. I think a blog can be easier to "speak" in than a traditional class. There is plenty of time to organize your thoughts before you start typing, and there is the anonymity of no one seeing you if you ask a "stupid" question. It is both private and at the same time public to the class members. Concepts that are difficult to understand can be a challenge in an online course. A blog could make the process more interactive.

Well as a Distance Education Student I have been using blogging in atleast two of my classes, and it has actually been really helpful becasue it lets you see that some people think like you or they may make a better point which will make you see the bigger picture of the thing you are talking about. I believe that teachers should use this in the early stages like with the students that are in middle and high school to get them use to blogging and expression what they thought about the story or article they are reading. Blogging poses as a great new teaching method and you don't have to have that much paperwork to do with blogging you write and you post, that is so easy to do, I love the idea of using blogging throughout the school system!!
