Recent Links of Interest from IHEC Blog's Facebook Page

For my post today I'm simply going through IHEC Blog's Facebook page and copying and pasting various links that I think IHEC Blog readers may find of interest from the past week.  About one or two years ago I provided a weekly round-up of links of interest I pulled from my Twitter posts and this lasted for several months as was popular among readers so I thought I would try it out with Facebook posts.  Perhaps this will become a weekly (Friday) habit...

Links of Interest for International Educators

It's been quite some time since I posted a "Links of Interest" post here on IHEC Blog.  This used to be a regular Friday feature but it was a time consuming process sometimes.  I have come across several interesting links in my Google Reader that I want to share/comment on here on IHEC Blog and over on Twitter or IHEC Blog's Facebook page.

Links of Interest for Weeks of December 18th – 31st


Last week I was unable to post my customary “Links of Interest” post to IHEC Blog due to me and my youngest child being sick and the fact that it was Christmas. For this post of 2010 I pulled some links from Twitter (most of the links below are items I posted to Twitter) from the past two weeks. I hope you find some of the links to be of interest and/or helpful to your research or work.

Here is a list of some interesting links I posted to The Twitter as well as many interesting links I pulled from The Twitter and retweeted. Also, I now have things set up so that my IHEC Blog Facebook page posts feed to my Twitter profile which then feed to my LinkedIn profile.
