I've just uploaded a newly-updated curriculum vitae to the Curriculum Vitae page. It includes a few formatting changes to make things easier to read and a number of additions reflecting the stuff that I've been doing since last year. Have a look! 
 
 
For the first time in several months, I've tinkered with this web site! Nothing too dramatic -- I changed the design and color scheme (do you like it?) and deleted Dangerous Tasks from my list of blogs on the "Web Presence" page (since I no longer maintain that blog). 


I'll be attending the Higher Education Summit at Blog Indiana 2009 coming up on August 13. Blog Indiana is the state's largest social media conference, and at the higher education summit I'll be attending sessions on using Facebook in the classroom, getting college administrators to use Twitter, and other similar talks. (See also my recent Casting Out Nines post, The blogging VPAA.) 
 
 

I've just added a Teaching Statement (a.k.a. Statement of Teaching Philosophy) to the site here, and you can access on the newly-created teaching page. You can view it using the Scribd viewer -- a nifty little web gadget that also lets you save, print, and search the document -- or download a PDF straight from the link.

The Statement of Scholarship referred to at the end of the Teaching Statement is still under construction -- hopefully it will be done by the end of the week.

 
Welcome! 08/02/2008
 

This blog will contain announcements of additions and changes to this website as well as any other things I think might be interesting. You can subscribe to the RSS feed using the icon on the right. (If you don't know what RSS is, you're in for a treat -- read all about it here.)

Right now I am working on creating two more pages for this web site, one devoted to Teaching and the other to Scholarship. I am working (have been working for some weeks now) on creating a brand new Statement of Teaching Philosophy and a Statement of Scholarship. It's been five years since I updated my teaching statement, and I have actually never drafted a Scholarship statement! Or maybe I did when I was coming out of graduate school, and it's therefore horribly out of date. I've been publicizing the rough drafts of the new teaching philosophy at my main blog, Casting Out Nines, in articles you can find here and here.

Anyway, subscribe to the feed and keep checking back for updates.
