At the same time, and perhaps exactly in the spirit of this blog and the notion of slam teaching, I feel I’m learning to teach for the first time. Part of this may come from the fact that, at least within the pages of this blog and within the quiet introspective walls of my own investigation of the practice, I am beholden to no one. I am free to invent. Will be readin...

A blog about radical teaching. Where What We Do…. Message in a Bottle? January 11, 2008. Of Rules and Relevancy. By Sean Michael Morris. An instructor comes to me with a quibble about late policies in my department’s composition courses. I’m feeling ornery and rushed when he e-mails, I’m feeling curious and obstinate, so I ask him: What is your pedagogical reason for penalizing late work? I know when I ask this that it’s not really a question that needs asking. Is it? In part, I’m being deliberately obno...

Oh, and look, there’s a honey pot on his head. Knows – work sucks. You are not in kindergarten here. On the other hand, you are authorized to play, invent, create, and explore. It’s the best of both worlds. All the respect of an adult, all the freedom of a three-year-old. Why shouldn’t this be the case? To open up the world to our students, we have...

To be honest, I don’t know if this post should find a home here at Slam Teaching, or if it belongs more on my personal blog. I have to admit some disappointment. I am disappointed by my latest post (“ of Rules and Relevancy. I still don’t think I’m being clear. But at the same time, I cannot shake that when I sit down to write a blog post, I’ve no idea if itR...

MOOC MOOC Critical Pedagogy. MOOC While You Sleep. Online learning requires a meticulous attention to the container. And the permeability of that container. We need to recognize that the best learning happens not inside courses but between them. Every course must outgrow. Its container. Digital pedagogues learn best by forgetting - through continuous encounters. To students, who should both participate in and help to build their own learning spaces.
