Christine Greenhow visit + new ambigram

by | Sunday, December 19, 2010

Christine Greenhow from the University of Maryland visited the College of Education this past week. She gave a talk and met with various faculty members and graduate students. I had met Christine a couple of years ago when we had both been invited to the National Technology Leadership Summit and had kept in touch off and on (more off than on) on Facebook.

It was great to host her visit and I am including below

This talk was also streamed live and was recorded as well  – though I don’t have the link to the archived talk. I will post it here when I get it.

I also had fun creating an ambigram of her name, which I didn’t get a chance to share with her. So here it is.

Symmetry: new ambigram

I love the idea of self-reference, words or sentences that refer to themselves in some manner or another. For instance consider the sentence, This is a sentence. This is an example of a relatively benign self-referential sentence. Other examples may not be less...

I wish I had a Googleganger (also known as a Google twin), but with a name like mine, I doubt that is going to happen anytime soon.

Improv here, there, everywhere…

A few months ago I wrote about Professor R. K. Joshi (here and here). He was, as I said in the piece, maybe the single greatest influence on my role as a teacher. I had mentioned that R.K. loved absurdity and play. I was reminded of this when I read about this group...
