I felt like a failure that year for choosing so poorly. It wasn't just you we dragged to all these. If you can remember back that far, Leah had a friend who used some of her precious vacation time to drive all the way up from Kansas City - only to spend the four days depressed and horrified. Man, that sucked. These were just awful awful movies. I felt like a failure that year for choosing so poorly. It wasn’t just you we dragged to all these.

I am very interested in using ARIS as the platform for my dissertation research and I'd like to attend the Design Jam coming up in a couple of weeks. Do I need to register for the Design Jam? Does it cost any money? And I don't see the event on the WID website. Thanks! --Dana I’m a PhD candidate at the University of Kansas.

]]> Comment on Clickers vs. cell phones by Chris Filkins http://www.regardingjohn.com/blog/clickers-vs-cell-phones/comment-page-1/#comment-7133 Chris Filkins Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:28:28 +0000 http://www.regardingjohn.com/blog/?p=1417#comment-7133 John...I know this blog post is a bit old, but I thought I'd chime in. I work as an academic technology specialist, but prior to this life I spent 7 years teaching in public high schools. In my time in the classrooms, I had the opportunity to test out clickers, and develop best practices for implementing them as part of my master's thesis. Over the years, I've been questioned a lot about why invest in proprietary clickers and not just use cell phones...every student has a cell phone, right? Well, not so much. And for those students who do not have a cell, getting a phone and contract and plan is a significant cost - $50/month for a basic calling plan with unlimited txting, plus a 2 year contract...$1200 over the 2 years. And if it's just one class for one semester? Well, they're still on the hook. So it's those students that I'm the most concerned with. By standardizing on a single clicker, costs can be managed (we use eInstruction CPS, and it's $25 for the clicker, and $13/semester (or $39 for lifetime)). So the costs are much lower for the clicker itself. And as a support specialist, it's easier for me to support the systems and provide a reliable experience for both the faculty and students.

Same for segmented content - if all content isn't imbedded in the core curriculum, fragmentation occurs and application suffers.
