		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve heard rumbles against the actions Arne Duncan is planning for education on behalf of the Obama administration. I&#8217;ve also heard rumors that NYS is planning some drastic changes to expectations for teacher certification &#8211; especially is respect to Master degree requirements. I haven&#8217;t seen any details on that one.
I am disappointed in President [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve come to see that there are two kinds of teachers/professors. Those that work out the course curriculum, learn it well, and then leave it there. They are hesitant to make changes because it represents uncertainty and lots of work. The result is a course that is well organized but static. The students walk away [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eating simply doesn&#8217;t mean one has to eat poor quality food. A long long time ago a friend invited us to dinner. She was totally into mega complicated cooking. She asked what we liked and I said, simple foods. I don&#8217;t remember what she serve us but it was unremarkable.
30 years later I now have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time Magazine contains an article about Twitter (wow, big surprise), but what I find interesting about the article is two-fold
1) &#8220;the key development with Twitter is how we&#8217;ve jury-rigged the system to do things that its creators never dreamed of. In short, the most fascinating thing about Twitter is not what it&#8217;s doing to us. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m contemplating my research agenda and my summer teaching load. I&#8217;ve come to the realization that trying to do too much results in too little being done.
For instance, I am reworking the summer course. It used to be taught by a different person, who did a fine job, but the readings didn&#8217;t work for me [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d love to collaborate with my colleagues in the C/J department and create a course on the new literacies. But our curriculum is so prescribed, there is no space for electives or exploratory symposiums. I&#8217;m coming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;ve started on Facebook and Twitter, I&#8217;ve blogged less. I&#8217;m not happy with that development. I used to blog about things I&#8217;ve read and what it makes me think about. Since twitter and Facebook, I&#8217;ve gotten in the habit of just posting the links. I&#8217;ve gotten lazy, and my thinking has gotten lazy.

I&#8217;ve asked the teachers to keep a &#8220;chapbook&#8221; or notebook of their thoughts as they move through the course work. I&#8217;ve also just recently [...]]]></description>
