“9 PM – This is when the first spike of sleeping Americans occurs. If you want to go to bed early, join our fellow Americans and turn in at 9pm… or get ready to party! 9pm is also when the largest percentage of Americans are watching TV”.

“You do not have to create a Mailinator address before submitting it to a site, you just randomly choose one and then go check it on the site. There’s no need to enter a password to visit an inbox and therefore no confidentiality but when email is simply a barrier to site entry then Mailinator is a very simple solution”.

“Imagine learning to ride a bicycle. Maybe I give you a lecture ahead of time, and I give you a bicycle for two weeks, then I come back after two weeks, and say, “Well, let’s see. You’re having trouble taking left turns. You can’t quite stop. You’re an 80 percent bicyclist.” So I put a big “C” stamp on your forehead and then I say, “Here’s a unicycle.” As ridiculous as that sounds, that’s exactly what’s happening in our classrooms right now”.
