Academic HumorHumor is a good learning tool, often overlooked.Watch the side bars and the Just for Fun section. You will find cartoons, jokes, videos all selected for their academic themes.

1. Sydney Harris Science Cartoons2. Abbott and Costello - 13 times 7 is 283. Actual Writings on Hospital Charts

Music as a Memory ToolMost of my students are hooked up to ipods, mp3 players, CDs, etc. However, they don’t often use music to help them remember material. Watch for academic music and lyrics in the side bars.

1. The Nano Song2. Pump Your Blood Video3. Calculus Carols
