Class Visits
We have had fifty-eight class visits this semester! Thanks for making such an effort to get your students in here; your support means so much.

Instructor Blog
It can be really hard to keep up with friends and colleagues when the semester really gets going. One students are bombarding your email inbox, it's hard to want to read the latest article or just have a discussion on a teaching issue. The Instructor Blog is designed to let you share with interested colleagues without sending masses of emails.

Send articles, comments, queries (or whatever is on your mind) to Joy at joy.langford@blinn.edu to post on the blog. Then other instructors can view your post and respond.

Understanding Our Students
Have you noticed how talking with a student can feel like communicating with someone from another planet? We all need help understanding them sometimes. The following links and articles might help bridge the generation gap and improve teacher-student communication.

Geraci, John C. "Learning From Youth Marketers." School Administrator 62.8 (2005): 24-28.

Tucker, Patrick. "Teaching the Millennial Generation." Futurist 40.3 (2006): 7

Tutor Projects
The tutors are hard at work as usual! Joy, Kevin, Nicole, Bethany, and Sonya just presented at the 2008 SCWCA Annual Conference: "Writing Out Loud." Four of our tutors have achieved Level III CRLA certification and one is working on Level III certification this semester. Six tutors are working on being certified at CRLA Level II.

All of the tutors work extremely hard to give our students the best services they can. If you get the chance, let them know how much you appreciate their efforts.
