Ha! You thought I was going to say “assessment,” right? Well, not this time! You know why? Because assessment for the sake of assessment is lame. For one thing, it’s not a good use of our time or resources. For another thing … well, there is no other thing. We need to be able to [...]

One of my colleagues is attending this ELI conference that I’d really like to be at as well. Alas, I can’t be in four places at once this week (three will have to do), but thankfully, he’s using his blog to share his experiences and reflections with us at home. Here’s the link: Consider This [...]

Indexed has posted a good one again: How ’bout this for a problem-solving process? Step back. Get some perspective. Let it “marinate” in your head for a little while. Maybe a big while. Then tackle it again! Does this work for you, or do you have another suggestion for solving the seemingly impossible problems? (Yippee! [...]

Today on Freshly Pressed I happened across this lovely little blog post from Burk Krohe: Signs I’m Starting To Become An Adult. Middle-class kid, college graduate, living at home, trying to find a job. He sees neckties and weddings and the inability to stay up all night drinking with his friends as his signs. Great [...]

Chris Brogan asked me today “How are you using your blogging?” (Ok, so to be honest, he didn’t ask me personally. He wrote a blog post with this question, and I happened to read it. But I took the question personally, as if he had asked me, personally.) And I had to stop and think [...]
