Even though I am professionally trained to read and evaluate what others have said before I say what I want to say on a topic (in academia [...]

I know a few things about it, and I can see possibility and value there. [...]

Today is Day 4 of the Great Twitter Experiment. I might give it a month to see what I think, but since I am the chief investigator in this experiment, and there’s neither a control nor an experimental group, and I don’t have funders to whom I am accountable, I might decide to only give [...]

Ok, so now I tweet. Actually, it’s more like I squawk. Why? I have no idea. But now I do. Why? Because everyone keeps asking me, “Why don’t you use Twitter?” And I have never had a good answer, other than, “Why in the world would I want to be on Twitter? What would I [...]

Here is Disney’s official description of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride: Keep your eyes peeled because Mr. Toad certainly isn’t watching where he’s going! Climb into your buggy and hang on, because the wacky characters from the Disney classic “The Wind in the Willows” are going to take you on a road trip you won’t soon [...]

Here you will find ramblings about teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education; some new ideas; some questions to ponder; some ponders to question; some food for thought; and maybe even a dash of humor (depending on the day).
