Here’s what you may have missed last week on ProfHacker–especially if it was your spring break or your mortgage-funded brackets went sufficiently haywire:
- Amy went to Ethan’s Great Lakes THATCamp, and reported on the results, while Julie introduced us to the basics of version control systems. For Ada Lovelace Day, George looked back at the women who’ve shaped his hacking ethos. He also urged scholarly societies to step up their social media presence, both during conferences and all year. I pointed to the recent Day of Digital Humanities as a good practical introduction to the field. George’s quest to find an ideally-useful academic scheduling software continues, while I found some iPhone apps helpful–even without internet access–during a study abroad program.
- Erin shadowed an undergrad for a day. (Um, in a totally non-creepy way!) Guest Derek Bruff returned to explain how to do reading quizzes in WordPress.
- Billie updated the Writer’s Bootcamp series by suggesting ways to break writer’s block. Nels offered strategies for finding external reviewers during promotion and tenure.
- In the standing posts: Billie asked “What’s for Lunch?,” and proposed leftover fajitas. “Open Thread Wednesday” featured a host of concerns: tenure stress, teaching grad students, course evaluations, new courses, and more. Finally, in “Weekend Reading” I linked to important backup advice, how unions can help improve diversity, and more.
Have a great week out there!
