My presentation went well on Saturday despite a few technical glitches, but luckily my super savvy colleagues at our other campuses were there to save the day. We had a fun and insightful conversation about blogging in the college classroom, the comment problem (why, oh why don't people post comments on our lovely entries), and the possibilities of podcasting. And, I had a chance to chat with some of my English Dept. colleagues at other campuses and discover a simpatico spirit.
The ride was long-ish but flew by as my colleague and good friend Becky and I brainstormed "scathingly brilliant" ideas the whole way, watched for amusing signage ("bacons" and brett favre's #4 steakhouse among the delights), and stopped for delicious "exotic" foods.
One of the sessions covered multigenre writing, something I hadn't been exposed to before but am intrigued by the possibilities. Imagine writing a lit response paper in multiple genres, obeying the dictates of each genre yet making everything achieve that elusive state of "flow." Well, that will be an adventure for sure.
