Things are looking up around here. I’m figuring out that, yes, I can write a thesis. Parts of it I even like. :) This last chapter is a case study of my professional writing class and I’m writing about the ways that I have updated the course to include digital literacies. I’m enjoying looking back over past course blogs and seeing the things that I’ve done.

I’ve spent almost every day of Spring Break at a local coffee shop, Rendezvous, working on it. The women, Stacey and Lori, who run it are just great people. They speak to me by name, tell wonderful jokes, and will run a tab for me. Today when I go in, Stacey will have some farm fresh eggs for me from her mother’s chickens.

I had a good time in New York. It’s inspiring to hear what everyone else is doing. By the way, if you haven’t read the C’s reviews that Michael Faris has done, do, go read.

While I was cruising through the book exhibit, I picked up a copy of Take 20: Teaching Writing, a film by Todd Taylor. Good stuff for new and experienced teachers of writing.

Also inspiring are a couple new group blogs I’ve subscribed to:
Teachers Teaching Teachers
HVWP Tech Teach ‘06

Check them out for some good conversations about integrating technologies into your courses.

Have a good day ~
