Comments on: FlashFace (aka the Literary or Historical Persona Creator) http://bionicteaching.com/?p=143 Make Learning Fun Again Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:20:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Tom http://bionicteaching.com/?p=143&cpage=1#comment-822 Tom Sat, 24 Feb 2007 01:34:43 +0000 http://bionicteaching.com/?p=143#comment-822 Dean- that is quite a compliment. I'm just easily bored and am obsessed with finding ways to make things fun for <strong>me</strong>. :) Pete- good question. Jim and I have considered going the weekly email newsletter route or possibly a podcast but I'm not sure that'd get too many more people and I'm not sure I can find enough quality uses to put out things like clockwork with the time I have right now. Plus I see so many email newsletters tossed immediately that it often seems a waste of time. Maybe a regular web page page based around a logic tree would work. Click on your subject (English), click on what you'd like to spice up (descriptive writing) and poof flashface (and other sites) would appear with a short blurb suggesting usage and maybe a lesson plan? I don't know if that'd be more attractive to non-blog readers. Dean- that is quite a compliment. I’m just easily bored and am obsessed with finding ways to make things fun for me. :)

They are a great counterpoint to the "philosophical" manifestos out there. We need both. How can you package all these wonderfully creative and useful ideas so that non-blog reading teachers can get at them? Great work. pete Tom,
