Shiny! There’s a new cybersecurity resource for everyone at Ohio State, and at first glance, it’s great. Here’s a sample:
There are tutorials, activities, achievements, and points! And the points are tied to rewards! I want the stickers. Check it out at https://cybersecurity4you.osu.edu
Last year I presented to Medical Dietetics 1100, and wouldn’t you know I get to do it all again this year. Here’s my Prezi from today.
(tip- if you like Prezi, be sure to sign up for an education account. Free stuff!)
And the ever necessary link round up:
I’m delighted to be presenting to dietetic and health science students today, and as ever, my presentation is chock full of links. Here’s all the info for anyone looking for more information from today.
When looking for images, there’s a big difference between websites like www.thinkstockphotos.com and www.morguefile.com
Best practice is to understand copyright, look for media with creative commons licenses, and always give attribution to the author/creator.
If you’re wanting to learn more tips and tricks while a student at OSU, your best bet is the Digital Union. I recommend the location in Prior Hall.
And be sure you’re getting all the software you can while a student, by checking out the Office of the Chief Information Officer IT info for students.

Students have returned! The calendar (and our very full parking lots) say so. Welcome back to all, and best of luck for the semester. Or better yet, here’s Lifehacker’s best of apps for students. They’ve got great lists for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. My favorite from the lists is f.lux – it dims your screen automatically as the sun sets. It’s a minor tweak to your display with a big impact.
Another big hit on their list is Dropbox, though if you’re at Ohio State definitely head over to box.osu.edu for your free 50GB of cloud storage. Update! Storage in BuckeyeBox is now unlimited. It’s a great place to save everything you need for class, and more. Go nuts.
Many thanks to the students of HRS 4300 for having me in class today. I used Prezi for my presentation, which is a great tool for presentations when you want something a little a lot different from PowerPoint. If you’re a student, definitely sign up with your .edu email address here– you’ll get more features for free.
If you want to learn Prezi, head to the Digital Union so you can log on to Lynda.com to watch this tutorial. Or, check out my presentation below:
