I taught Suzanne Hidi's course tonight on Academic Writing at OISE. She's away somewhere, and I was filling in. Mostly to talk about technologies and whatnot. That is Blogs.
In the middle of it I found that I had ICQ and AIM going and was chatting with Cosmo and Rochelle, while teaching! That's got to be a first, when the prof's IMing while teaching. I think I should set up a special plack or something.
Actually, I was asking Rochelle questions about on-screen editing, but I thought it was neat to use instant messages in a teaching situation.
Danger. Danger. Gasthaus Switzerland Inn has fallen so far off my recommended list that I think a long descriptive letter to the Ottawa Tourist Board is in order. And yes, I had two (2) major blowups with the owner. Needless to say, it put a bit of a slant on the trip. And needless to say as well, I'll give a full report.
