Blogging Pedagogy

Jim Aune at The Blogora recently posted about his "worst classroom moment," and some of the comments to this post have continued the discussion. It's an interesting read for those of us who continue to experience weird/bad/icky classroom moments.

Anyone care to share their worst?

I guess my worst would have to be when I called on a student (something I just about NEVER do), and the student ended up having a stuttering problem. This is why I'm hesitant to call on students, but I had a sense that this student had something important to say. Well, it turns out that he did.

This video clip made it's way around the techrhet listserv recently. It provides one example of how to deal with cell phone interruptions :)
