My summer vacation
Posted by Mark Winegar on July 15, 2008
Most people think teachers live the good life during the summer. The truth is we do!
I’ve spent most of my summer preparing for the upcoming academic year and writing a new workshop for the Collaboration for the Advancement of College Teaching & Learning. The weeds are growing well in my yard while I work 12 hour days and I’m loving it!
What’s new? Well I’m jazzing up my Blackboard courses with tons of new vodcasts and podcasts. These gems allow me to add content to my course for free! Imagine having Al Gore visit with your students about global warming or Peter Gabriel talk about witness.org. Impossible you say? Hardly. These are just the tip of the iceberg of educational materials that are freely available to you if you are brave enough to give them a try.
Come on in! The water if fine.
