Grab Bag



At some point this semester, please post a link to an article, video, website, etc. that made you think about something we’ve done in class. Also, please provide a brief discussion about whatever you submitted. This has no due date, but my hope is that you will check it periodically and read what your classmates are posting (feel free to comment, too).

  1. Here is an interesting video about some writing apps. Some of them are silly but I thought I might try 1 or 2 of these.

  4. I watched this video in 702 when writing our final reflections. I found it simpler than Paul et al., so I thought I'd share it here! It cute and animated and discusses some different paradigms...enjoy

  5. **I sent this email to Dr. Stemhagen a week or so ago because I couldn't stop thinking about the connections.

    A couple of weeks ago when Chad and I did our discussion on school discipline, we started talking about the overwhelming amount of information that parents and children have now, and Dr. Stemhagen argued that it could be more harmful than good to be overwhelmed with stats and info. The very next day on my 2 hour drive down for Quant, I listened to the true crime podcast "In the Dark" by APM Reports. Season 1 is about the abduction/assault/murder of Jacob Wetterling, an 11 year old boy in Minnesota. The episode I listened to that night was Episode 6 "Stranger Danger," which didn't focus on the case, but instead looked at crime rates and the history of sex offender laws and lists.

    Anyway, it was really eye opening and interesting and made me think of a lot of what had just been brought up the evening before about stranger danger and safety, and also how sometimes policy isn't based on research. If you have an hour to listen to it, I highly recommend it. If you're into true crime or just like being frustrated and at the same time inspired, I recommend the entire podcast. It's an incredible display of research and investigative journalism.
