The New College Professor. Remixing Multimedia Genres in English 101. November 15, 2014. In Assignments and Activities. Time to share some nerdiness with you all.

The New College Professor. Banning Personal Devices: Cell Phones, Laptops, Tomagotchis, etc. May 12, 2015. In Theory and Discussions. Tamagotchi: a virtual handheld digital pet, first sold in 1996. I was once wishy-washy about whether or not to allow cell phones and persona devices (PDs) usage in class. After all, my students are digital natives, and they have used devices for most of their teenage lives. I changed my mind this semester, and wanted to see what a classroom would be like without PDs.
