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.

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 […]
