Recent Education Blog PostsSeeing and Saying Babyby K_REY_C31 Aug 2010 07:21 AM Normally I write about college life. My college life as a graduate student and as an instructor. Occasionally high school is thrown in there but I rarely talk about anything younger. Today I actually have something to share in that area. If you weren't aware I am also a (relatively) new parent. My Own Scheduleby K_REY_C29 Aug 2010 04:12 PM There is a terrifying thing happening recently concerning my schedule: I'm in charge of it. While this has to some extent been a dream for a long time it comes with its own magnificent set of problems. The biggest problem is keeping whatever schedule I set for myself. Multiple Teachersby K_REY_C27 Aug 2010 09:48 PM This semester I'm teaching a course with two other instructors. It is a unique and interesting course blending all of the fine arts into a collection of humanities credits through multiple instructors. I just recently taught during our first class period. A Sense for Humorby K_REY_C25 Aug 2010 09:22 AM When I teach courses I typically start with something my students don't expect. I force them to scream in unison, do a funny dance, throw hundreds of paper airplanes my direction at the same time. These strange beginnings tend to reenforce a message I want to send to them: this can be fun. Whelmedby K_REY_C24 Aug 2010 01:09 PM There is a joke that appeared in the film "10 Things I Hate About You" where they note that the word "whelmed" doesn't really communicate anything by itself in common usage. It must be adorned with a prefix (over or under) for the word to carry meaning for most people. Communityby K_REY_C23 Aug 2010 03:39 PM This past week I've been focused less on my work as a teacher (preparing a syllabus), less on my work towards qualifying exam testing (a lot of reading), and much more towards my dissertation. Impress Your Teachersby K_REY_C19 Aug 2010 07:59 AM For better or for worse I'm around a lot of teachers this time of the year (and throughout the coming year). This is the time when most teachers are preparing their courses. They sit and create outlines. They type up their syllabi. Pre-Writingby K_REY_C16 Aug 2010 08:11 PM I've started throwing away what I write. Really. I've started writing and writing and writing and then deleting what I've written or just opening another blank document and starting again. I might write about the same thing or I might write about something completely new. Some Serious Workby K_REY_C14 Aug 2010 05:39 AM Recently I've been stranded in a variety of locations without an internet connection. There have been several engagements I needed to attend but there was ample time lost for the work I needed to do. In Favor of Printingby K_REY_C13 Aug 2010 05:33 PM I just recently bought an laserjet printer so my mind is currently on the printed word.
