The Week That Was In 234

Moler's Musing

This week was all about keeping the momentum goingconnecting reform movements, industrialization, and women’s rights in ways that actually made sense to students.

Anthropology.net

At first glance, Tel Shiqmona appears unassuming—a rocky outcrop overlooking the Mediterranean just south of modern-day Haifa.

Quick Thought: Reframing Makes the Difference – Change My Mind

Moler's Musing

This morning started in chaos. The WiFi was down. I scrambled. I needed something fast, something engaging, something that didnt rely on the internetbut still moved our learning forward. I couldve defaulted to a worksheet. Basic questions. Called it a day. But thats not really my style. I knew todays goal: students needed to be able to explain the importance of suffrage to the womens rights movement.

What's Yours is Mine, and What's Mine is Mine Too

All Things Pedagogical

This blog post has been percolating for the past few weeks and is inspired by a post on a listserv where someone in faculty development was asking about common practices to cite resources from other teaching and learning centers (CTL) if that information was in turn used for another CTL as a resource or part of a presentation.

Stephen A. Smith and International Relations Scholarship

Steven V. Miller

I used to be proficient at Photoshop in a past life. It's just easier for ChatGPT to do this for me instead (because it did). Are you explaining it or are you just talking about it? This is a question I routinely raise on student papers in my department in a curriculum that is wedded to the so-called isms. Its pervasive here. Students think firmly inside those boxes.

Shes also criticized what she calls the Trump administrations wholesale assault on freedom of speech and human rights.
