tonight's first guest



cooperating teacher told me of a teaching strategy he once used. a desk, a couch, a microphone, and a guitar. it sounded like a real education. unfortunately, it fell victim to the changing schools of thought.

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome big bill broonzy! hey, hey.

not true; p rox



"wouldn't you like to speak with them before they went to the principal or superintendent? so, please give the course and the professors the respect they deserve."

epals and voicethread. i was all about them once according to some old twits. i do remember that there was a teacher in providence that used one of them trying to get some correspondence for a class project. also, as i considered the state of unrest in the cohort, specifically around the amount of "busywork" (!?) in 5055, i was reminded of and checked out some older posts. i thought this slogging was something once. i mean i wrote a lot more. and most everyone else (mda/lb aside) didn't, except for the assigned busywork. last week, all i was hearing was the same complaints about pd that i've been hearing for the past three years. the frightening thing is that no one's even employed as a teacher yet.

save coney island!
