24 August 15

First day of classes at Eastern Kentucky University, and yes, I do get to meet my new students! Twenty live bodies in a physical classroom at 4:40 p.m., and then twenty-one ethereal voices (well, typed text) via the Internet this evening. There are still chalkboards in some of our classrooms; I think I may have last touched some real chalk in 2013. And of course this tie is appropriate for my continuing work with the Blackboard course management system.
