Welcome to all those taking summer term courses! This is a time to learn new concepts and applications to your educational practice! This is a time to leave old, outdated, non-productive ways of learning and coping behind with the last term. It is a time to try new study strategies!

Best quote for beginning new endeavors…

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” ~Mark Twain

Our Dad use to tell us that, to earn a top grade in any class that it was important to begin work on new reading assignments within 4-6 hours of receiving them. Try this Organizing Action principle today! (preferrably within 4-6 hours!)

This is what 146 years old looks like!

On June 23 1868, the first typewriter was patented by Christopher Latham Sholes. It only had capital letters and it took up as much room as a large table. Typewriters were slow sellers at first, but Mark Twain bought one almost as soon as they came out, and in 1883 Twain sent the manuscript of his book Life on the Mississippi (1883) to his publisher in typed form, the first author ever to do so.
