Print on Sticky Notes in MS Word

Print on Sticky Notes in MS Word http://www.edzone.net/~mwestern/tutorials/stickynote.pdf
I came across this great tutorial from Marilyn Western.

Here are some classroom ideas:

  1. Save a little paper when you need to revise original.
  2. Print these for marketing tools for books with such things as "Mrs. Tracy's top ten favorites" or " What to read after you've read Twilight".
  3. Print a batch for a teachers gift with her name on it.

Tabbloid

This is a tool that lets you capture RSS feeds and have them delivered in a pdf file via email. I like this tool because I think the pdf two column format is easily read.

Classroom idea:
1) Use this tool for current news feeds and post resultant pdf on your Moodle or wiki . I like RSS feeds as a way to ensure current events reading comes from reliable sources.

2) Find two opposing viewpoint feeds and have class compare and contrast. resultant pdfs
