In research work, it is important to carefully keep track of the sources consulted. I was told about Zotero early on in the semester, but not in time to bring it into the curriculum this time. In future, I plan to have students use Zotero more, so students might want to take a look at what it offers, if they plan on taking more academic classes at TRU or another university.

While that might be an interesting point of debate, Tara, I notice that you are talking about children, whereas the discussion was intended to relate to adults, such as yourself. Do you really want me to treat my students as if they were children?? I also would like to challenge your statement that all policies are good. Do you mean by this that there is no such thing as an unfair policy? Please write more about this.

profhacker creativity scholarship education standards

shared by J.Randolph Radney on 29 Oct 09 - Cached

I have long been fascinated by the myth that there are two different types of people in the university: The creative faculty who produce works of art, on the one hand, and the scholarly faculty who write peer-reviewed journal articles, on the other hand.

What do you think? Is there a divide between people who are creative and people who are analytical/scholarly? Must we choose one or the other?

I don't like google chrome. I don't know why but there's something about it that I dislike. I'm going to stick with my good old Firefox.

Using Wordle in the classroom (1 of 2) - ProfHacker.com - 0 views

wordle classroom technology

it’s now standard practice, for example, to require students in a first-year-composition class to know how to use a word processor and to learn how to make good use of a database: those are not considered “computing skills” anymore. They’re just skills.

we’ve long assumed that students become better writers by reading a great deal; and we assume that experience at writing makes them better readers. For many generations, these 2 sides of the textual coin have been taught hand-in-hand: we don’t teach students to be consumers of words and then maybe later teach them (or teach only some of them, depending on their major or their future career) how to create words. Instead, they learn those skills simultaneously.

The site as a whole is devoted to discussing Wordle (the program that produced the word-posters displayed on the MOODLE course websites for both 050 and 060), but notice what is quoted about computer skills (the first quote) and the connection between reading ability and writing ability (the second).
