The blogging may lag for the next few days, as I am hard at work designing the beginner’s sessions for BloggerCon, which will be delivered (Gulp!) two weeks from today. After several extensive rewrites, I think we are finally on the right track. As soon as I have something worth posting I will let you all see it, and try to get additonal feedback while I beta-test it on some pliant pupils (Halley?).
Also tomorrow, I start my annual fall 3-hr a day, 5 day a week, 12-week session with a dozen foreign business people here to get their MBA’s. They are all near-native in fluency already, but need work on their higher level researching, writing and argumentation skills. I think I will be using my other Blog, Monkeybrain, to post their assignments and linked articles, and to get their comments and analyses. It will be the first time I have made a Blog an official part of one of my courses, although I posted some links and questions for my Law students this past summer. Stay tuned….
