Michael over at <a href="http://tametheweb.com/2008/06/10/students-arent/" rel="nofollow">TTW</a> suggests that I misread the post and it wasn't my teaching you were criticizing, rather, the commenter's. I guess I found it hard to parse the meaning of "this person" in that sentence. It makes sense that it would refer to the person talking about Blackboard, but I guess it wasn't clear to me. Apologies if I misunderstood your note. Hi again, Nicole. Michael over at TTW suggests that I misread the post and it wasn’t my teaching you were criticizing, rather, the commenter’s.

I find it intriguing, however, that you would draw conclusions about my teaching style based on that interview given that it doesn't address that issue at all. I care very much about student learning and figuring out ways to help students learn and grow. The student evaluations I get attest to the fact that man of my students appreciate my teaching and get a lot out of my classes. Thank you for taking an interest in my work.

I worked the library reference desk as a student worker. Students, professors, and visitors were always asking how to use the computers. I agreed to try and help a student trying to figure out WebCT. I thought it an easy to use tool and lamented none of my professors were using it for my classes. Admittedly, WebCT 2.0 was waaaaaay simpler than Vista 3, especially at administration, my chosen profession. I have always spent a lot of time using computers doing a wide variety of things, so I understand how to use them better than most people. The estimates about computer use rarely mention the users typically are doing a few very specific things. This is because there is assumption skills easily transfer. All too often users need to replace habits for one thing with habits for another. The first time I had ever seen WebCT was in 1999. I worked the library reference desk as a student worker.

I find this too with others; I used to live in Silicon Valley (Sunnyvale!), and when I talk to my friends who have jobs in the computer industry - they have no idea what Twitter, Google Reader, Second Life, etc.. are! I always think that by living in a small rural area in Colorado, I will be behind the times. It gives me hope that librarians / library workers keep up with these things, use them, and tell their patrons about them! Interesting!
