Notes and News
By Ireta Ekstrom

Hello everyone,
There is always such a sense of anticipation when beginning something new. I hope you are enjoying that feeling as we move into the beginning the new school year. Even though I’ve been working all summer I share that sense of new beginnings as both faculty and students have migrated back to the campus.

This issue of Teaching Central has a book review by Stephanie Mathson on Robert Boice's book Advice for New Faculty Members: Nihil Numus.

FaCIT's website has a number of links to excellent articles and tools. Check out the ones I have highlighted this month on classroom management.

The Tip of the Trade is on an updated feature of BlackBoard 7 that improves the Assignment Feature.

We have some new books in for our review list. Check it out.

Enjoy the semester.

Until next time,
Ireta
