I am quoted in this Edutopia article about the Internet, classroom barriers, and how I’ve gotten around them.

Aside from horn-tooting purposes, I think the article offers some practical solutions to the tech challenge many of us face. It’s another step in the direction of my push for a pro-cell phone classroom.

If you’re stumbling across this site from the aforementioned article, or you’re just wondering what’s going on around here, this blog took a turn toward higher ed for a sec. However, after a brief visit to the Thunderdome, I’ll be back to scrutinizing Manual. Most appropriate would be a look at the current regime change that’s underway.

Lastly, this seems to be a terrible time for me to be immersed in graduate studies. The past few days I’ve been culling through a mass of new books I have no time to read. Highlights include the complete correspondance between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell and a collection of Roberto Bolano’s poetry (hence the post’s title). I anticipate sinking into Bolano overdrive soon as well.
