Public vs. Private | Professor's Blog
https://proflunsford.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/public-vs-private
All about instructional blogging in psychology. Public vs. Private. July 27, 2011. I’m have mixed feelings about blogging ‘privately’. However, in a minor experiment this term I gave students the choice and let them weigh the options. I reviewed the pros and cons of blogging on a password-protected course web site and on a public, blogger site. Private – great for sensitive topics, protects you from an unknown future public BUT limits who can read what you write. Note: images are royalty free. From &rarr...

Pi r Round: Será yo? O Serás tu?
http://sudorku.blogspot.com/2011/07/sera-yo-o-seras-tu.html
Monday, July 11, 2011. It took learning a new language for me to realize one key element of the “southern” variety of English I grew up speaking: we communicate in ‘–isms’, regional sayings of sorts. Down here, south of the Mason-Dixon, you say things like “built like a brick shit house” when something is sturdy and. And when was the last time you saw a mule walking down the street- of his own free will or being pulled by a frustrated owner? Possibly. I propose that true. It can only be guessed at. A...

Pi r Round: August 2011
http://sudorku.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 9, 2011. In the course of this blog we have explored the language-culture relationship and its intertwined nature: one affects the other they are not mutually exclusive. But what tangible effects will these language and culture influences have on us as teachers? A lot more than most people think. Excerpted from the One Child, Two Languages in Action Professional Development DVD featuring Patton O. Tabors and Mariela M. Páez. Now for my advice:. Isms do not translate:. Rather than focusing...

Glutton for Punishment | Professor's Blog
https://proflunsford.wordpress.com/2010/02/16/glutton-for-punishment
All about instructional blogging in psychology. February 16, 2010. Yep, I’m a glutton for punishment. I’m still too new to teaching to be beaten down by poor writing, lack of ability to construct critical positions, or fear of technology on the part of my students. Well, I hope I maintain my belief in my students’ ability to learn all of these skills even after I am a weary, well-worn and cynical professor…. Think, write, action…. From → Uncategorized.

Apparently not (coerced) or 6 reasons I’m a FAILURE | Professor's Blog
https://proflunsford.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/apparently-not-coerced-or-6-reasons-im-a-failure
All about instructional blogging in psychology. Apparently not (coerced) or 6 reasons I’m a FAILURE. September 17, 2009. Hmph, well all of my students were not coerced in posting their blog. I wonder to myself, why is that? They seem responsible and interested in their education. What might be other reasons and do they have to do with me? 1 I have yet to prepare them properly for the novel assignment. 3 My class is not the most important activity in which they engage. Really?

Pi r Round: Time to Think
http://sudorku.blogspot.com/2011/08/time-to-think.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. A little over 7 years ago, as I sat at a large table with 4 other students in Mr. Quackenbush’s AP Physics class discussing Einstein’s. Theory of relativity and the Time-Space 4-dimensional structure concept, my brain exploded. Now, back to that one kid (oh how we hated him for kicking our butts on the AP test), why was he able to understand this concept better than the other 4 of us were? By Guy Deutscher for more info). To us, Americans, time is a VERY important part of our cul...

My Teaching Halo | Professor's Blog
https://proflunsford.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/my-teaching-halo
All about instructional blogging in psychology. July 13, 2011. I FOUND my teaching halo! Do you see it? The pressure of teaching wanna-be teachers led to its discovery. Teaching teachers makes me reflect if I’m doing (or not) what ‘expert’ teachers do when they reach deeply into their students’ minds to build motivate them to learn. Who are those expert. I found it . . . It formed instantly . . . from SELF DOUBT. Then the self-doubt set in…was this choice, with only 2 options, going to be too much? I rem...
