Last week we got a Wii fit. I didn’t get around to setting it up until the weekend, but now I’ve done a Wii workout every day. It’s pretty fun. I had a workout “game” for the PS2, but it was somewhat dull. It worked well and had I stuck with it, probably would have…
Those with babies might think I’m talking about the midnight feedings, the all-night cry sessions. Nope, I’m talking about my need to stay up way later than I should simply to get in enough “me” time. After dinner, I pretty much disappear. Occasionally, we’ll do something together, but most of the time, we all take…
On Friday, I gave yatob*. We were the last panel and so, with time compressed, we went straight for the demo, skipping the slides altogether. It’s actually nice to know a topic so well to be able to speak almost extemporaneously on the topic. I had prepared well, though, so it didn’t matter that the…
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what educational/instructional technologists should or will be doing 5 years from now. Some of my thinking was prompted by this post, lamenting the technological gap that exists between teachers and technologists. The author was not, as I often am, saying that the teachers need to get with the…
Even though my house is a disaster, I’m going to spend the weekend alternating between relaxing and reading and writing. My goal–read through several articles for a class, read through material for an article I’m writing, and begin to sketch out said article. I put this here to hold myself accountable. And now to fill…
A must see for Friday. I might have to buy this. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
Yesterday, I sent a link to my faculty of the “Top 100 Liberal Arts Bloggers.” I recognized quite a few of the names and thought that it might make interesting summer reading. I, in fact, billed it as such–like beach reading. I got a response pretty quickly from someone saying that he/she was disappointed that…
Today, my son asked me what the difference is between the Republicans and Democrats. I went on at some length about economics and energy policy, but what it kind of came down to was that Republicans seemed more inclined to think shorter term while Democrats think longer term. I don’t know that that’s true, but…
I’ve returned from vacation, refreshed, recharged, but not quite raring to go. I almost didn’t go on this vacation because I felt guilty for leaving work behind. How would the students function? Who would do x? Who would do y? What if something happens? Vacation got me away from those questions, from the day-to-day grind.…
Sorry about the radio silence. It’s been a busy week in a run-up to vacation. I’ve been keeping up with the blog reading (mostly), but not the writing. I hope to actually write something when I return. Maybe there’ll be pictures. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for…
