How often I've had the same thought. Wouldn't it be cool if we could record our class sessions and make them more broadly available to folks? Realistically, I probably wouldn't want to save all of mine, but certainly the ones that work out as well as this session did.

He won't let me take it until the second go around:( Mary Wash rocks! And, dare I say ELS in particular?! @Jerry -You can only take my class if you don’t pick on me the whole time :) @Laura: “But does fear last longer than love?”

I can sense from your post how intense it is, I was holding my breath as I was reading. Can't wait to see how the rest of the course goes, keep at it Rev. Jim, I mean Prof. Jim.

In fact, I find I am channelling the edtech folks, DTLT, and other UMW faculty, all the time. The ways in which we all move within and between disciplines and grapple with far-ranging conceptual ideas in the work we do has been invaluable for me in just about every as pect of my being. So, in fact, you were both (as were several others) an integral part of that class last night -a perpetual, communal teaching beta (or is it motion machine?) -to quote McClurken. Martha and Andy,

Soon he'll start whistling Dixie! Seriously, Jim, this is an amazing description of a class that obviously affected you and your students deeply. I couldn't put my laptop down! Thanks for sharing.

You may never again reach the pinnacle that you reached last night, or maybe you will surpass it in a night in the future. It sounds like you did everything right. Plant the seed, wonder if the students would get it, LET THEM ALONE to figure it out, and then beg to get back into the game. Not only that but you are capturing digitally the whole thing. Anything else that you do this semester is gravy because you have already taught them how to THINK in this class. Way to go! Oh and "right quick?" That is a total Southern phrase.
