The JSR Virtual Conference is providing rich resources for many of us that we may, or may not, have recognized. Some examples are the resources we have been given in our sessions to ease the tasks of professional tasks and discussions or engaging students with effective web storage sites and applications. A specific example is the set of resources for all of us during the times we chair committees, serve as program head or department chair, carry out a specific reassignment or professional development grant. During my tenure at Alabama, we used the phrase “academic flu” to describe the unforeseen loss of free time and heavy management tasks that accompanied these services. In bamaspeak (Alabama that is), it sounds like “ackardeema flew.” We really should no longer contract this “flew” as a result of this conference, as we have received more than sufficient injections in the form of web options these two weeks. An article on the Academia.com site summarizes the types of gems for these types of duties that we are meeting in this conference.
