      Thank you for these analytics resources. Thank you for sharing. I took a look at them. I also found some of the other information on the Stanford site interesting. I had heard the delimma of whether the instructors face is preferred or not before. I wish it was a bit more directed one way than 2/3 to 1/3 but I guess at least it isn't 50/50.

    A Rainy Fourth of July

    Image
    Technically the Fourth of July is over, but fireworks are still blasting away in pockets across town. There's more at stake this year, those blasts are saying--more to celebrate, more to release. (As I type, a sonicky boom just went off, somewhere to the west.)  It was rainy today. There was lightning, thunder. But we still did some Fourth of July things--not all of them, but some. (Sparklers, veggie dogs, fresh corn,  National Treasure , flags.) Before the storm, I got out a new Bosch drill, and drill bits I've had for years.  Years .  I shipped these drill bits back to the US from Rome in a cardboard box (filled with other things, too--books, linens, kitchen detritus, clothes). The plastic cylinder the drill bits live in still has its price-tag, which is inscribed with the name of a little local hardware store that still exists on Via Celimontana, in Rome. (I googled it.) Ironically or not, I learned to use a drill (and a hammer, a band saw, and a circular saw) in ...

    A Week's Game of Tag

    Image
    Days-of-the-Week Tagathon I had a lot of fun with this past week's #EME6414 Twitter Days of the Week Challenge .  Did you try it? What did you think?  What were your expectations? I can say that I was a wee bit intimidated. Somehow, Twitter intimidates me--and yet, when I get into it, it's fine. It's like jumping into a lake--opaque and cold on the outside. But then you dive in, and you warm up, and it's not just fine but rather fun.   It was kind of like a weeklong race--and really fun to search out my fellow #EME6414ers' day-of-the-week tweets. Especially fun with the push notifications turned on.  Nothing like a little social-media buzz to pick you up in the middle of a (#really) long week. I did end up tweeting some belated days-of-the-week. #FollowFriday on a Saturday morning? I had to cringe-tweet that--but off it went.

    Fun with Creative Commons

    Image
    After watching this Creative Commons video , I decided to have a little fun and play around with licensing. Why not creatively donate an image to the world? I don't have any Mark Getty ambitions (or capital).  "Spectacular images [and] flexible pricing" at Getty Images. (Read: I hope this screenshot doesn't get me in trouble.) So I licensed this image, below (featured in an earlier post ):  A totally unfiltered tourist shot, and my foray into Creative Commons licensing.  Here's the license Creative Commons recommended:  I took their recommendation. (Let the reusers reuse! Let them distribute, remix, adapt and build upon this little shot as they will!) Here's what the license looks like on Pinterest: Pretty cool, huh?  It looks legit--and is legit.  And yet it feels so nice and altruistic.  What's your experience with Creative Commons? Have you used it as a student? Have you donated your images or teaching materials? What sorts of things have you chos...
