Teacher as filmmaker: An update from down under

Back in 2007, I was second author on a paper titled Teacher as Filmmaker, in which we described an approach to teacher professional development that involved teachers creating short, evocative movies, which we called iVideos. You can read the paper and abstract...

IQ & jobs…

Here is a webpage tabulating the IQ distribution of various jobs. Just from a selfish point of view social scientists rank 5th and college professors second. I guess I will (self-servingly) call myself a college professor rather than a social scientist :-)...

The reluctant fundamentalist

I just finished reading "The reluctant fundamentalist" a novel by Mohsin Hamid over the break. (I had mentioned this novel in another context here). It is a tight, powerful novel, structured as a monologue, (reminiscent of Camus' The Fall, a fact that few reviewers...
