Sweet Spot

Well I thought that I should figure this thing out too. Can I use this as a blog or pensive?

I have started teaching now I teach introduction to computing and data structures and algorithms. Not much is drawn from my MS degree but I try to inculcate stuff I learned in the intro course.

Now that I am all rested and stable I need to do something apart from teaching that could be research, generation of design ideas for new tools, moulding old semester papers or thesis into papers or journal articles (so atleast I should have one publication ) .  I need help in where to start.

Hope everyone is alive and kicking

Not to pull esteemed readers away from this fine site, but I have been posting on my blog fairly regularly lately.  It has evolved, and reflects what I’ve been thinking about most lately–the changing educational landscape brought about by technology (specifically web 2.0 technologies) and a growing culture of multiliterate learners (digital natives/net generation).

Personally, I’ve been wondering what I need to do and be thinking about to help meet the changing expectations of this new demographic–in terms of teaching and learning.  I do believe the changes are significant, but come at a(n unknown) price.  I’m also concerned about the rapidly growing societal divide between the connected/participating, and the disconnected/nonparticipating.

Anyway, hop on over, take a look, add me to your blog roll, and write me a comment or two.  I continue to pull in some good presentations and posts from other sites on my aggregator feed that can be found on the right hand side.  Enjoy.
