I miss students!
Last Friday, I had the pleasure (and I do mean pleasure) of heading into one of Richard Blot’s sections of Shaping the Future of NYC for a quick lesson on how to do online scholarly research (aka, “Moving Beyond Google or Wikipedia”). It was an upbeat and fast-moving discussion of what research is (a conversation, […]

Video Re-curations (-creations?)
(cross-posted to the Doomsday class blog) I was on the M60 late Monday night, on my way to return a big stack of final exams in Modernist literature (brain freeze!), when I figured out why this editing project wasn’t going well, and what I needed to do differently. I was listening to Depeche Mode’s Playing […]

Organizing People
The ongoing question of many, many, many years: What is the role of the ITF? Well, right now it seems to be “the role of the ITF is to organize people.” Sort of an Obama-esque community organizer role… only with, you know, the bonus of current innovations in IT.

Tech Day 2010 went amazingly well. Jill & I had 28 intermediate-level freshmen–and we put them through their paces! Everyone signed up for the ePortfolio system, and joined our group Tech Day ePortfolio. They split off into ten groups, 2-3 students per group, and generated some content for our ePortfolio on a particular piece of […]

End of Year Report
We’re almost done! These are my last office hours of the year, so I’m spending them on a short report. Here’s where I think I made progress this year: I did a better job of teaching technology. I got better at explaining complex tools, and better at demonstrating the relevance and the possibilities of each […]

musings on the fourth year/alternative careers
Today, my doctoral program’s student association sponsored a “Workshop on University Administration and Other Non-Teaching Careers.” I hadn’t intended to go. Today was my first stop by the Graduate Center in about ten days, and I really had come in simply to run errands: print a few items, file for travel reimbursement, etcetera. But a […]
