Saving Money on Your Intenet Bill

My brother has always been a tech gadget guy. He appreciates new technologies but is not a fan of the bills that typically tag along with his new "stuff." We were discussing the cost of his Internet Service and his desire to reduce this cost. I remembered back to my undergraduate studies at Bloomsburg University, particularly my networking class to offer him a suggestion.

The recommendation was simple; change your service from the highest of high speed, to the next level down. His response was predictable...he thought I was nuts until I justified my suggestion with some computer jargon.

The "slower speed" would never be able to manage the computer, laptops, and TiVo. He tried it for a month and experienced the same Internet experience for roughly $16 less per month.

Check the math $16 per month x 12 months = $192 saved in a year, not too shabby.

Strategies for Engaging Sudents

My student teaching supervisor at Bloomsburg, Dr. John Olivo, presented the following PowerPoint at the MBEA Conference in May 2010. Content includes various strategies and tactics to engage students.

If these strategies are coupled with web 2.0 technologies, the sky is the limit.
