New School New Syllabi

I will teach at a new school starting on January 27. I am going through and thinking about how I should change my syllabi to fit the student body at this new school. After I finish these syllabi I will post my latest syllabi and link it here.

Singing Songs

The Auditory portion of my brain seems to have taken over this blog. I would love to do this but I did not do well in Music.

Creating Audio Grading

I am tired of writing little comments on students' papers. I think they do not read my comments. And often those that do read my comments, tend to misunderstand. These misunderstandings can be attributed to the students poor reading skills or to my poor writing skills or a combination of both.
So my solution: record my comments, in a conversational manner, on a digital audio recorder.
This could also be done for course grading. I would explain (into my audio recorder) why the student received a certain grade and email it to them. I am already doing this using a grading rubric.

Bitesize at BBC

This is an interesting site that is operated by BBC I might have the students look at the cost section under production.
