Edge's View of Technical Communication: The 5 paragraph essay, clustering and mind mapping
http://daedgell.blogspot.com/2006/10/5-paragraph-essay-clustering-and-mind.html
Edge's View of Technical Communication. Wednesday, October 25, 2006. The 5 paragraph essay, clustering and mind mapping. I have not completed a literature review on the subject, but I feel that professors have used this technique in the past and it may be considered passe. I am excited about a tool that has the potential to transfer the abilities that capable students already possess into more complex abilities. Abilities they will be able to use in other classes and after they graduate.

Edge's View of Technical Communication: Balancing Act
http://daedgell.blogspot.com/2006/09/balancing-act.html
Edge's View of Technical Communication. Wednesday, September 13, 2006. How will I balance teaching and scholarship? Being satisfied with quitting might be the most difficult balancing point. Finding the point where class has been prepared satisfactorily, the ICON quota has been met, all the material has been read for class and papers have been researched ahead of schedule will probably never happen. I have to accept that and keep doing the next best thing. Fawn rules, doesn't she? Who am I as a teacher?

Quadrophonics: It Takes A Village To Raise A PhD student
http://quadrophonics.blogspot.com/2008/12/it-takes-village-to-raise-phd-student.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. It Takes A Village To Raise A PhD student. I should really be reflecting on field-dependent rationality for one final so I can move on to the second final, but just had to note what makes it possible or impossible to attempt two classes in a semester. Julie can share her reflections as well. Look at your personal life. Do you have family and friends willing to support you or will they undermine you? Great work…… more useful for all. Thank you for the information.

Quadrophonics: Conflicted and Confused
http://quadrophonics.blogspot.com/2008/06/conflicted-and-confused.html
Thursday, June 12, 2008. I was trying to come up with a third "C" word to make it more rhythmic but my brain is too full. I've just added two blogs to our sidebar so interested folks can follow the musings, mumbling, and mutterings regarding our progress, research, and learning. Several of us in the program are Twittering (see my recent Twitters in the sidebar of my blog. And if you want to know more about why I'm conflicted and confused you can check out my blog. Any advice welcome! Julie M. Davis.
