Keeping in touch with people has never been easier. Technology has improved greatly over the last 134 years since Bell heard Watson pluck the reeds of his then primitive telephone. Now we have cell phones, email, instant messaging, MySpace, Facebook, not to mention the traditional telephone and postal service. With all these modern conveniences, one [...]
What do you read?
Posted by: dateacher on: March 20, 2009
I’m not much of a reader. I chalk it up to the fact that during my formative years I was given lists of books during the summer that had 2 parts – a list of required reading and a suggested list from which to choose 2 or 3 to read. Being forced to read during [...]

There’s a new “thing” going around the email/facebook platform. It’s actually kind of fun…and I’m sure someone has already blogged about this, but I need to blog about it too!
What you do is google your name and the word “needs” (just like that, in quotes – so if you’re Susan, the google search would be [...]

This week has been a wave of excitement for me. Last week my titleless blog post was featured on The Buzz – big shout out for that! Over these last few months of blogging, I was wondering if anyone, other than a few friends and my mother, was reading what I’d written…and finally I got [...]

Okay – this blog is supposed to be about my new teaching experiences, but I’m not above going off topic a little bit.
So yesterday – I’m lecturing about restorative and esthetic dental materials when I reference a couple of celebrities who have good teeth but who, from appearances, didn’t quite take it far enough, only [...]

Am I ready for this – who knows but I have 2 1/2 days to get ready. We had adjunct facutly convocation last night and I wasn’t nervous so I guess that’s a good thing. There has been a shake up in the faculty situation…one of the veteran adjuncts took a full-time job at another [...]

Well, I have one week before I start my new teaching job. I have enjoyed the planning process but am ready to get this thing going. The last 2 weeks have been relaxing and therapeutic but I’ve also begun to realize that this job change has opened my eyes to the fact that there are [...]

Since I’m new to this “organized” teaching thing – I’ve had teaching/training experience in my past (teaching med tech students at the bench and training employees) but nothing like standing in front of a class of 19 and 20 year olds who expect me to be somewhat of an authority - the planning portion is difficult [...]

Hello world, this is my first blog entry…I recently stopped working as an adminstrative assistant in the teaching and learning center at a small, private, liberal arts University in Virginia. In another 2 weeks I’m going to shift from an adminstrative position back to my first love in dentistry when I start teaching in the dental assisting program [...]
