It’s been a long week and sometimes it’s good to follow even bad ideas through to the finish.
Simple Definitions, Complex Thoughts
Get them here or make up your own. You’ve got two ways to play this game. 1. Give these to your students as warm ups at various times but with one of the words blocked out and have them decide what it should be. 2. When they’ve got the hang of guessing, they start making their own based on terms you’re studying. Should work for just about any subject and is far better than the standard “write a sentence using this term” vocabulary exercises. Don’t limit yourself (or them) to vocabulary words- think historical events, novels etcIn a way it reminds me of the “its the * meets the *” style of music/movie descriptions which would be another great way to get students thinking describing novels in interesting ways that draw connections to things they know. I swear I have something about this bookmarked in delicious somewhere..
A WordPress Authoring Continuum
Image from page 60 of “Birds of La Plata” (1920) flickr photo by Internet Archive Book Images shared with no copyright restriction (Flickr Commons) I often feel much of my life has been spent arguing against binary judgements related to technology.Another large portion of my life is spent fixing random issues I find when I go to write big posts like this. Seriously. People. Let me know if something is weird/broken. This kills me. I’d like to have neater boundaries and simpler discussions but they always seem to get in the way of what I perceive as reality. I’ve certainly tried to articulate options for content in creation in WordPress before. I tried really hard to have a nice list here that would move you from full-constrained incrementally towards the normal backend editor but the lines kept blurring on me so . . . you get what we have here today . . . which is a failure to delineate, crisply.And a failure to look up the Cool Hand Luke quote The idea that WordPress authoring is super-easy or needlessly complex is one of those arguments I have repeatedly. I believe, with varying degrees of effort/skills, WordPress authoring is simply what you want it to be. It can be tightly constrained, without even the need for an account or even […]

I know you are going to turn these into a video, but the comics are really effective and focused. I hope you find a way to use them to spread the word, as well!
Definitely got my attention!
Glad you all like it. I’m not sure how I’m going to go about the movie. I’ve got chunks of “The Night of the Living Dead” I may mix in but I’ve got a pretty tight deadline so we’ll see how it goes. I figure I’ll include both so as to differentiate for those that don’t like movies. Might as well practice what I preach.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me.

You should really put these together for a presentation for the k-12 online conference. I swear, each comic gets batter; to the poibnt where I want to start printing them out on archival paper and store them away with boards and plastic baggies with my old comics 🙂
Now my wife will have someone to blame when I quit my job and become the first full time flickr comic creator!
Thanks Ben. I’m having fun with it but I still worry how well it’ll convey the information to some . . .
Terrific work!!!!
