outrageous

I can’t believe I just did that. Spent 45 minutes writing a post about ethics and teaching using blogs, when today is a holiday and I’m supposed to be packing, going for a run, playing with my daughter, lazing and doing absolutely […]

should we tell our students to blog pseudonymously?

Lilia writes interestingly about her discomfort with being researched by students who’d been given the assignment of writing a wiki page about her research. She doesn’t mind being researched, but was uncomfortable about whether or not it was OK for her to […]
