My other blogging project…
This is something I should have started years ago to keep track of my teaching materials and ideas, but better late than never. I’ve just started a blog about teaching French at the university level, and it’s called (in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way) En français, classe! My goal is to create a resource other instructors can use and maybe even someday contribute to. Check out my About page over there to read a more complete explanation of what I hope the site to be.
There are still a bunch of things to fix, like having drop-down category boxes in the toolbar, and making that header image a tad shorter so you can actually see some of the content, but these things can wait. I just wanted to get this going as I prepare to enter the academic job market post-defense (which, by the way, is scheduled for mid-September!) – What better way to show my teaching philosophy and methods than to refer potential employers to this blog? Now I can write about what I’m doing anyway, and it gives me a more productive break from the dissertation than, say, catching up on every craft and design blog I can think of.
What do you think?

I love the subway header! You’re always on top of things – I have no idea how you do it.

Thanks Emily! Well, I don’t watch any TV (especially since Lost is over, ha!), and I have to admit a lot of other stuff gets neglected, like the laundry that stays in the washer for days…

I think it’s very well done. Easy to read and navigate and really good looking!

In my totally unbiased opinion, it is amazing. I cannot wait to see how it develops. I think it is a wonderful idea.
