\nHappy New Year Everyone! Did you make any resolutions for 2015? I don't usually try to set goals on January 1st other than the rather nebulous \"try to be a better person\" one. However, Dr. Michaelis recently wrote a blog<\/a> for the Huffington Post in which he recommended a few apps to help us keep our New Year's Resolutions. His recommendations are Rise<\/a> (nutrition coaching), My Quit Coach<\/a> (quit smoking) and Buddhify<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps one of your resolutions was to do more than use an app or two. If you've resolved to become more comfortable with technology and to try to use more of it in your courses, I have a few sites that I recommend in order to help you keep that resolution!<\/p>\n

Try Sue Frantz' Technology for Academics<\/a>! She is an expert on \"finding new technologies so you don't have to\".\u00a0 Thousands of people have blogs with lists of new technologies, but Sue Frantz roadtests each one she writes about and then provides the most clear instructions on how and why to use them.<\/p>\n

The John A. Kaneb Center for Teaching and Learning and the Office of Information Technologies at the University of Notre Dame (the hosts of our Professional and Organizational Development listserv) has a very good blog, NspireD2<\/a>. The entries are concise, relevant and numerous.<\/p>\n

Finally (or should I have said Firstly?) CAT is always<\/strong> a great resource, so please consider adding a visit to us on the 5th floor of the library to your list of resolutions--we'll be happy to help you!<\/p>\n
