Student Video Projects

After meeting with the Dean yesterday afternoon, I'm very excited about the possibilities of finding financial support for Patty's project. I think her project is going to impact students in a positive way regardless and I think that finding a sponsor for it can only extend the possibilities. The challenge for me, as always, is to maintain focus long enough to see it through to completion.

Ann's theme word "challenge" kept cropping up all day yesterday and continues to be central today. I was greatly challenged by last night's Stats class. Last week and this week, I feel that I have a very tentative understanding of what we are doing. And there's a five percent chance that I have no clue. I don't quite grasp what we learn by correlating residuals. It feels like it's just out of reach.

Go More

I'm feeling overwhelmed. Too many projects, too many commitments, too many directions.

Great day, though. In the morning, I worked with Jenifer's class who got their first visit from the Learning Gate group. After that, I went to Buchanan with Patty M. to start working on a student documentary film project with her. We met with the students to sort of outline the rest of the project and I got the chance to talk to Patty about doing my own bit of research with this project, and about social justice and equity of access.

Squeeze in there a conversation with Roy about university-wide technology funds and a conversation with Dr. B about laptop requirements/recommendations in our department's degree programs, and here I am in class.
