Reagan
I just caught the tail-end of an interview with Peggy Noonan on the Today Show. She pointed out how CBS both saved face and saved money by shifting the inaccurate Reagan miniseries from CBS over to Showtime. She talked about Reagan's very active support of unions because of his Screen Actors Guild experience as its president and that the show's portrayal of his being vehemently anti-union just wasn't accurate. Wish I had seen more of it. What I liked best was her closing comment about how the people didn't like what a major network that reaches almost all of American households was doing and let them know about it and they had to do something in response. Democracy at its best. The liberal bent is so over-skewed that it's nice to see some fallout .......... finally.
It's a busy end of the semester. I'm not sure where both October and November went but I have even more balls in the air. The best thing is working on the grant ... despite its detractors.
We're getting ready to select new department chair candidates to interview. An interesting time for our department.
Pre-service teaching students do their last taped presentation today and then they have a cooperative learning exercise next week - although they have already developed so much comraderie that they don't need it.
One student on the professional semester already has a job at the semester. He's really gotten after it and it shows.
I go back to the National Archives later this week and will go over and meet with Kansas superintendents to get our professional development workshops going. We'll start with Brown v. Board of Education.
Am trying to find out how to do video conferencing on the web again.........I think it must now be through instant messaging.
I'm still salivating over the hope of getting a Tablet PC.
Need to do some of the paperwork to finish up classes for the semester. Our new BSEd degree FINALLY passed the Faculty Senate - in spite of another obstructionist who didn't want to acknowledge that her field of elementary education has different requirements than secondary education programs like ours.
