Although classes don't start until next week, I was on campus today to get some stuff done and attend some classes on teaching strategies.The goal is to move away from throwing information at students and hoping some of it sticks to getting them more engaged in the process. I will try a few things this semester and see how it works.

At lunch I drove downtown to the bank to deposit the check for the car. There was some sort of protest in front of the AT&T building. I have no idea what it is about, but i did get a picture.



Four memories I won't forget

1. Walking out into the streets of Bangkok my first morning there.

2. Eating Chinese food and drinking champagne in Florence just after I asked Malida to marry me.

3. The first time I kissed my first wife at the end of our first date.

4. Breaking a Beatles album over my sister's head cause she was annoying.

The first 3 on your list are lovely and the 4th one made me giggle loudly.

I hope it was a lesser Beatles album.

I don't envy you educators. It's hard to make some material more engaging. But I bet you'll find a way. You've be on both sides for so long and so recently that you may have more ideas than you think.

That's exactly how I picture AT&T's customer service agents!

But I imagine the executives being truly horrific.

Lovely memories and #4 is a funny one. Which Beatles album did you break over your sister's head?

I am sure you will learn a few strategies that will help you with your students.
