student-oriented teaching blog

I started this one last year, http://aplaceinspace.wordpress.com/

Reflexivity is still the main blog, but I've been working A Place in Space directly with the students I teach, in whatever course I happen to land as a Teaching Assistant at UMass Amherst. (Eventually, I imagine also with any other institutions who hire me to teach.)

the main blog

is still Reflexivity. Seems its gonna stay that way, even though I do have a few friends here in LJ.

ok ok ok already! (not that anyone's been beating down cyberdoors to get me active in here)

what if it's time to get this baby working? I like my avatar, btw. Is that un-humble? I didn't create it; described it to a much more tech savvy friend who did. If one views it as a whole it looks like a woman dancing. I aspire to such! :-)

wow. pangs of fear and doubt! why now? the semester is going to launch like a rocket tomorrow and I am not as ready as I want to be. there is more sorting to do. I hate sorting.

I am psyched that there's at least a wee bit of potential for a pedagogical convergence.... between the public speaking wiki and the Blackboard site and optional wiki for Intro to Mass Comm. Meanwhile, activity on my main blog is ... there (!), and I've actually had a few conversations with folks interested enough to at least consider the political groupblog idea I've had cooking for years and years.

if I was really up to the supercharged pace of live on the Internet - and livejournal - I'd have gotten to this post THIS morning so that if/when anyone read museumfreak's's entry and was the tiniest bit curious....

alas. It appears I'm a one-blog woman and Reflexivity was underway long before I even knew about livejournal. But who knows, maybe yet one of these days I'll be pulled in....

Ok, so it's time to figure this baby out? Alright. :-) Seems like the vertical timing is good - prep for the spring semester, develop more skill than I currently have, cultivate a professional relationship or two ...

The horizontal timing, though, as in the linear 24-hour clock kind? Well, I *am" supposed to be working on a paper right now!

I guess the first step is to embrace "A" on the cyberdivadotorg wiki ...

yes yes

Now that I've read museumfreak's paper on LJ I now know how vital it is to spice up the userpage. Gosh. That means making commitments ~ what I like, don't like. Kinda vulnerablistic, eh? I'm thinking on it, and I'll get there . . .

Aha!

Maybe I'll remember how to get here next time. Am I "in the now" or what? And under tutelage. When I can find it. :-)

Seeking friends!

Here I am. Only the Absolute Unitary Being knows what I'm in for. I'll trust it's all for the good. ;-)
