Thing 21--Sudent 2.0 Tools

For the overachiever, these will be a wonder, replacing all sorts of schedule books and timelines posted on the walls of one's room, illegible notes scribbled on syllabi, and various calendric devices. If instructors go with the bit for them and librarians/libraries are brought into the picture, they have possibilities. Of course, those of us who have tried to help a student who was assured that 'every' library has a particular title the teacher demands be used might be a wee bit skeptical that the same instructors who didn't bother to check if we did are going to bother with anything else. I am wicked enough that I get a kick out of telling a kid where teach got it wrong. I always counsel silence with the pedagogue but to treasure this little bit of knowledge as a moment of superiority. The Homework Mommy will adore these, as it will make doing her kid's homework a lot simpler. If you are a working librarian you know this. If you are an administrator, academic or technophile, you will just have to take it on faith.

For those comfortable with a computerized schedule, this is a good thing. For those on another path, it is something that might come in handy some day.

Note on the cartoon: I am up to 21 and still utterly lacking in glam. At the end of 23 if I am still me, I cannot decide whether to sue for false advertising or simply diminish, go into the West, and remain Technoskeptic.
