In a recent post, I shared a poem that I’d recently written about facebook, and part of the poem was specifically about facebook as a teaching tool. I also posted the poem on facebook and emailed to a few interested friends who aren’t on facebook.
Six people commented on the poem in facebook and about the same number commented by email. About two-thirds of the commenters were educators, but the comment that stood out was from a former student of mine. He had taken my English class last fall, and something he said really struck a chord with me.
Oh, and seeing you on here has made the “Dr.” in front of your name look not so big when it comes to talking to you.
The defense rests…
