Lazy blogger; lazy blog post

Abject apologies I just climbed out from under my rock and realized I have not updated this since long before Shakespeare wast a boy... You would not believe how heavy that rock really is. Please don't abandon me!.

I am so busy with an awfully big adventure, being distracted by the shiny, just generally being a worry to the locals. My day seems to be a litany of stuff and giggles from crawling out of bed at 6.30 to sun down and beyond. I am not complaining though. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

I won't promise anything to you but you will see me writing more to you in the future. You have my word! I will write more to certain yous; but it might not be you in particular who I write to.

And now for a bit of explanation! This post was created at the Lazy Bloggers Post Generator. Lots of possible phrase combinations and crazy-talk! :)

Education Links

Just sharing a few quick links to interesting education-related articles I've read recently.

This guy is pushing for a major overhaul in graduate education.

And this other guy writes about an important key to effective learning.

And this lady writes about six things you need if you are considering home-schooling.

These and plenty of other education-related links can be found on my delicious.com page.

Do learning styles exist?

Daniel Willingham says learning styles do not exist, and he makes an interesting case. He is a cognitive psychologist and professor. I'm still not sure what I think, but I thought I would go ahead and share his point of view.

An introductory video is on YouTube: Learning Styles Don't Exist.

If you would rather read about it, check out this article: Do Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Learners Need Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Instruction?

Willingham's web site also has other education information and links.

Here We Go Again

Another year is upon us; maybe I should resolve to update this blog more often!

Another semester is about to start, too. I'm looking forward to learning about the second half of the Old Testament, Human Growth and Development, and Administrative Leadership for Ministry.

Here's hoping 2009 is a great year for you!
