I have been meaning to post to this blog for months -- where does the time go? Oh, yeah, into the belly of procrastination!
I am teaching English 102 (College Research and Writing) in a technology-enhanced classroom this semester and had planned on making an entry each week (after each of my weekly classes) about the pros and cons of using the different technology available. It is now the fourth week of the semester, and I have yet to post.
Last night in class, I took advantage of the two screens to show a few Superbowl ads to talk about cultural assumptions and how the argument of each ad relies on its creators having knowledge of a specific cultural context and audience (just like students will need to as they work on their Research Arguments). I also used class time to help a number of students who are behind (doh!) get caught up. To help them in the class -- and myself -- in keeping procrastination at bay, we watched this nifty little video.
I thought I would share and make a public committment to stop procrastinating and honor my goal of writing more about digital technology in the classroom!
