Who would’ve expected guest blogging to get so controversial? Once, it was all the rage in online marketing. And then, bloggers began claiming that it doesn’t work, it’s not worth the effort, and we should all do something else. They even have numbers and charts to prove their point. As always, we at Mirasee don’t […]
I used to be camera shy, and I got over it by accident. The kids I worked with were not improving enough by only attending speech therapy sessions. Home practice was a battle. Teachers and friends couldn’t understand what the kids said. So I spent an entire summer learning how to create and appear in
Higher education has hardly evolved in the past few years. There are still giant auditoriums where professors listen to themselves speak for 3 hours. There are still instructors who read from the book and quietly mumble “Any questions?” before quickly moving on. There are still educators who blame the student if they’re failing. It sucks
You know that saying, “I know just enough to be dangerous?” That describes my familiarity with WordPress. I’ve had a serviceable WordPress website for half a dozen years.

Everyone wants success, but we can’t get a consensus on what success is. You’ve probably found yourself talking about success at one time or another and then found yourself unable to articulate even for yourself what it might mean. You might have considered success while in your office, or at home, or in the shower
So you’ve got a survey. But what’s the best way to get survey responses? Clicking the “send” button from your email provider isn’t enough. Tweeting about it isn’t enough.
