I recently found the list below of 21st Century Literacies, posted by Cathy Davidson. As I prepared to launch myself and my students into Fall term today, I re-read the list, paused, and thought that even though I am not teaching any content specific to these literacies (I teach in the PLA program), at some [...]

Homework Assignment for PLA Students (Or Any Other Individuals Seeking To Learn From Their Mistakes Experiences) Read the 16 Outcomes of Reflection. It’s a GREAT framework for reflecting! Then: Think Back – about your topic / your experience / your learning. Think Forward – about your topic / your experience / your learning. Think Inward [...]

My first 2 cents Here My next 2 cents Here The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning announced that Pam Tate, the President of CAEL, was interviewed on NPR´s show Here [...]

I ran across this letter to my 16-year-old self (written by “26-nearly-27-year-old Katie”), and it made me think about what I would say in my letter to my 16-year-old self. When I was 16, my English teacher had us write our obituaries as if we were 80. At the time, it seemed like a morbid [...]

Around these parts, Summer term is coming to a close (next week!) and Fall term is about a month away. While my work doesn’t end when the term ends (in fact, it usually gets a bit busier), it seems like a good time to take some time off and time away from the office. It’s [...]

Today, PrattleNog features a guest post from Lorrie Ranck. Lorrie and I have been colleagues and friends since 1996, when we both started teaching at a college in the Bay Area that provided each of us several “bumps” in our professional road. Those bumps were likely responsible, in part, for the formation of our close [...]

POP QUIZ! What is the shortest word in the English language that contains all of these letters: abcdef? ANSWER? Feedback! And you know what? Sometimes we just don’t want to hear it! Sometimes it’s just really hard to receive! (Sometimes, when we are 2.6 years old, it makes us have a temper tantrum!) Mac reminds [...]

A No-Brainer

I am reading a book right now recommended by a friend called How We Decide, by Jonah Lehrer. She recommended this to me when I needed to make a decision and had consulted her; her statement to me was, “You actually already know the answer. Now you’re just trying to rationalize it.” And then she [...]
Indelible

Chatting with a DOF (dear old friend). DOF said something that struck a nerve. A nerve? (Wrong word.) A chord? (Not quite a chord.) A memory? Maybe that’s it — a memory. An indelible memory. And from me? DOF got an indelible response. Ooops! (Hate it when that happens.) Also, re-living challenging Commencement event a [...]
