This is the online tutorial that I have made for JING. It highlights for incoming Freshmen in the HOL1000 course where students can find some info on emailing section instructors and teaching assistants.
This is my favorite program so far!

Google Map
This is a link to the Google Map that I just created for our Holistic 1000 course. This map is intended to provide students with a basic walking route around the campus of Western Michigan University. In our class, we require students to incorporate fitness into their lives, and really encourage them to walk daily. We have set a goal of 10,000 steps per day for students, and believe that by simply walking this route daily, students will be well on their way to achieving this goal. Included in the map are resting areas around the way, highlights of particularly dangerous areas, restrooms, and other significant areas on campus. Not only will this help students achieve their personal and class fitness goals, but it will also work to help them become better acquainted with Western's campus.

Prarie Home Companion Podcast
This is a pod cast of, "The News from Lake Wobegone"- a segment of the show, "Prairie Home Companion" hosted by the infamous Garrison Keilor. Just listening to a few minutes of the show immediately puts me at ease. It is relaxing, funny and heartwarming, and there is always something unexpected. It's great for the whole family, and a perfect pass time for a lazy Sunday afternoon. While it is not explicitly educational in nature as our assignment called for, it fits nicely into an English Education classroom. Garrison Keilor is the quintessential American storyteller, an excellent model for students of English composition!
