SUNY-CIT 2008
  A little over a month ago I was privileged to attend and speak at the 2008 SUNY Conference on Instructional Technologies, splendidly hosted this year by SUNY-Genesee Community College. (You’ll need to use IE to get to the program pdfs; at least, I did.) The theme was “Are We There Yet? Teachers and Learners in [...]...

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I was privileged to read several lyrics by Coleridge this past Thursday as part of the University of Mary Washington’s venerable “Thursday Poems” series. The idea is simple: gather on Thursday afternoon to hear someone read thirty minutes worth of poetry. No lectures, minimal commentary, mostly just great verse. My colleague and mentor Bill Kemp [...]...

A conversation with Errol Morris
This is my 500th blog post. To mark the occasion, I’m podcasting an interview I did with filmmaker Errol Morris back in March, 1997. The audio, alas, isn’t very good. I hadn’t planned to put the audio out at all, actually; the tape recorder was there as a backup to my notes, just as it was [...]...

M-Learning Presentation at the Virginia Library Association 2007 Conference
Since I took up this work in 2003, I’ve met some great, great people. One of them is Liz Kocevar-Weidinger, Instruction and Reference Services Librarian at Longwood University. Liz is a very creative and imaginative person who understands the power of metaphor and has an uncommonly interesting strategic sense of how libraries can become vital [...]...

Structures and Emergence
The new term begins in ten days, and I’m thinking about how to prep the sandbox for the fifteen weeks that follow. Truthfully, “thinking” is too mild a word. “Yearning” is more like it: yearning for the inspiration and insight into form, tempo, and activities that will give my students their best chance at surprising [...]...

The Windhover
Photo from A Different Voice, a thoughtful blog I discovered while searching for this image. Here’s a poem I’ve treasured for thirty years. I remember vividly my first encounter with Hopkins, at the end of a Victorian Poetry class with Dillon Johnston at Wake Forest University. We’d gone through Tennyson, Browning, and Arnold–Arnold who [...]...

An Introduction to John Milton
The John Milton Cottage, where Milton wrote the final parts of “Paradise Lost.” From time to time, I teach a course called British Literature to 1800, usually with another professor or two so we can distribute expertise, keep the sections smaller, and do some tag-team lecturing at the Big Lecture Moments during the course. I’ve taught [...]...

Like everyone else in the known universe, I’m finishing up a grant application this weekend. I’m on the last piece, a two-page version of my curriculum vitae, and I’m citing URLs where audio of my recent presentations can be found. As I do so, I realize I need to bring audio from my February, 2007 [...]...

Shannon over at Loaded Learning asked for a copy for her iPod, so here it is: a hi-res newly mastered mp3 of my one brief shining moment of low-level metro pop radio accomplishment: “My Favorite Town.” Hard to believe it’s been two years since I first posted the tune.

Yes, this time I had to eat the apple. (Photo credit: Serena Epstein.)

Ken Burns interview redux
An experiment in audio restoration, at Jon Udell’s suggestion. I finished taking out the mechanical clicks (this was a manual process, oy) and then turned my efforts to ameliorating the high-pitched hum in the background. Working in Sound Forge, I ended up with a parametric EQ notch of -6.5 db and a bandwidth (or “Q”) [...]...

Sometimes I wonder: what would it be like if I blogged almost everything?Today, then, I’d blog about a Milton seminar class in which I did most of the talking and ended rather dispirited, only to find via the class syllabus wiki that one very attentive student had not only taken it all in but transformed [...]...

I’m teaching my Milton seminar this spring for the first time in a couple of years, and I want to try podcasting some of Milton’s poetry and prose as (I hope) aids to comprehension. As always, I find that recording the words forces a certain kind of attention that I might not otherwise find. This time, [...]...

Jessica Rigel reads“The Flea”
I was about to write that “The Flea,” one of Donne’s most famous, even notorious libertine seduction poems, changes its character radically when a woman reads it, but I don’t think that’s true. I think the poem stays the same. What changes, at least to some extent, is one’s horizon of expectations with regard to [...]...

Here’s Zac Smith reading Donne’s “Elegy 3: Change.” Donne’s elegies (in the Renaissance, “elegy” could mean any discursive or meditative poem, and could include even bawdy, Romanesque poems, as Donne demonstrates) are particularly interesting as indications of his wit and his skill at arguing several sides of the same issue, sometimes all at once. “Elegy [...]...
