		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been really discouraged about my research/writing recently and really hating my teaching as well (not all of it, just parts). I can&#8217;t give up my teaching (it pays the bills), but I stepped away from the writing to see if it would make me feel better &#8211; not so stretched. I have writing projects [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weaving in and out of the critique of the new literacies is the concern that forms such as twitter, blogging, IM, email, RSS feeds etc are contributing to the lack of ability among people to attend to lengthy, in-depth texts. The argument goes that we have become so accustomed to gathering our information in bursts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting meditation on naming the world in today&#8217;s New York Times. The author is a scientist and writes about taxonomy and how it is a dying practice &#8211; that so few of us can name things. The author ends by stating that by naming things, it changes things. It changes our relationship to things. [...]]]></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>

But there is a need for fresh ideas and to be able to bounce ideas around. And that&#8217;s where twitter and facebook come in. Those two tools are becoming more [...]]]></description>

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>

		<description><![CDATA[I decorated for Christmas today. Didn&#8217;t feel like it, but did it anyway. This year is so weird. Usually I&#8217;m all psyched about Christmas, but this year we won&#8217;t be here. I think it&#8217;s a control issue thing. Ever since the kidlings were little I was in control of Christmas. Decorating, cooking, shopping, wrapping, coordinating [...]]]></description>
