Too Many Tabs

     Okay, okay! I admit it. I have a problem. I keep entirely

too many tabs open at once.

And, I need help! At this very moment, I have 27 tabs open in Google Chrome and  23 open in Firefox. Wondering if you suffer from 'too-many-tabs-open-itis' too? 

Here are The Warning Signs:

Clue #1: Your Browser...

Clue #2: Windows prompts...

Clue #3: You...

    Luckily, I just downloaded TooManyTabs, an add-on for both Firefox and

Google Chrome. Hopefully, I'm cured. Please comment me with your

'too-many-tabs-open-itis' stories, and let me know what's working for you.

     If you’re like me, you despise hearing how disengaging online learning can be. Thankfully, Thomas L. Russell compiled 355 comprehensive research reports documenting no significant difference. Furthermore, Dr. Michael Schmoker visited 1500 classrooms and found only 15% engaged 50% or more of those students.

Still feel online interactions are less engaging?

Tell the couple finally f-2-f

after meeting online 5 years ago.

Tell the 14.5,000,000 Americans who would rather

work online from home, 34,000,000 who do,

and 63,000,000 who will by 2016.

Tell me, a Graduate Student, 

completing my degree entirely online.

Blackboard ensures that I am able to

engage, inspire, & educate interactively online every time.
