Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-goog411. This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free--great when you are on the road.

Don't waste your money on information calls and time manually dialing the number. If I need to call a golf course and don't know the number, I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed.

The voice at the other end says, "City & State."

I say, "Garland, Texas."

He says, "Business, Name or Type of Service."

I say, "Firewheel Golf Course."

He says, "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone.

How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free! Click on the link below, and watch the short clip for a quick demonstration:

It is a great read, and of course, the late Malcolm Knowles was years ahead of his field when he wrote on this subject matter. Might be something some of your current students would be interested in getting as a supplement to their required reads in the program. I have found that it really helps explain the theories and cognitive side of adult learning and Andragogy.
