Whether you want to use the Journal for the first time or you want to increase your usage, you have a wealth of resources at your fingertips. And your keyboard.
One of the best reference that Journal offers for educators is Faculty Resource Guide. You can either download a copy or request a mailing by going to www.professorjournal.com and clicking on the link (listed under Teaching Tools on the left). This guide offers all kinds of great information.
The section headings in this booklet include:
Free Teaching Tools for the Journal
Resources Available at WSJ.com
Integration Ideas
Using Journal Content in Your Discipline
Special Programs from the Journal
Contact Information
Frequently Asked Questions
This booklet suggests all kinds of tools available to you, such as Student Guide, quizzes, videos, WSJstudent.com, and the Weekly Reviews discussed in last week’s blog. And these are available at no charge for you.
Next is a summary of WSJ.com features. Every faculty and student Journal subscription also includes a complimentary subscription to the online Journal. Remember that your WSJ sales rep is also always happy to conduct a workshop for you for WSJ.com, as well as any other types of workshops you would like.
Integration ideas include class discussions, assignments and activities, projects, exams ideas, and quizzes.
Another very valuable part of this guide is section offering direct connections between specific academic disciplines and Journal content. Each section lists various regular columns and features appropriate for particular classes. Detailed lists for 10 disciplines are included, with brief listings for another seven.
Finally, the Frequently Asked Questions section will help you with all the logistics of the sign-up process.
