April 16, 2015How to care for grieving students
Bonni Stachowiak explores how to care for grieving students.
PODCAST NOTES
How to care for grieving students
Respect confidentiality… to a point
Point them toward their resources
Avoid assumptions… if you can
Be human
Don’t lower course requirements; let them earn their degree, not receive it through pity
Recognize the pain of the neutral zone (coined by Bridges in his book: Transitions: Making sense of life’s changes)
Avoid personalizing dishonesty
RECOMMENDATIONS
Process your own grief
One wonderful book for processing one’s grief and going through transitions is William Bridges’ The Way of Transition: Embracing Life’s Most Difficult Moments.
We resist transition not because we can’t accept the change, but because we can’t accept letting go of that piece of ourselves that we have to give up when and because the situation has changed. – William Bridges

April 02, 2015Mixing it up in our teaching
Bonni Stachowiak shares some ideas about mixing it up in our teaching.
Podcast notes
Teaching classes repeatedly
Advantage of knowing where students typically get stuck
Dr. Chrissy Spencer spoke about this when describing her broken-up cases in episode 25, when she just “happens” to have a slide that clarifies a student’s question
Reinforcing a difficult concept
Advertising response function in my Principles of Marketing class
Not all understand the idea of the law of diminishing returns by the time they get to the course
Would be the ideal situation for an interactive online module something like the scenario manager in Excel (under data, what-if, scenario manager)
Did the typical think-pair-share
Two truths and a tie exercise
Using the Attendance2 app to facilitate the random calling on of students
Applying learning to something students know well
Lessons in PR from our university
Standard 2.2 from accreditor (whole must be greater than the parts)
Going outside
Self assessment on theory X and theory Y
What things do you see that I do that are theory X
Steps to avoid cheating on exams
Latecomers need to call to be marked present for the day
What things do you see that I do that are theory Y
Self-directed learning during the week
Bulls and bears game
PollEverywhere quizzes via cell phones in class
No anonymity any longer
However, I was then able to give them the opportunity to indicate how they would like to be treated as an employee
Recommendation
Remind app – now has text chat, but with office hours

March 26, 2015What to do before you act on all you’ve captured, with Dave Stachowiak
Bonni and Dave Stachowiak discuss what to do before you act on all you’ve captured.
PODCAST NOTES:
Episode #32 talked about capture. All the places where we capture what it is we need to do (either because of others’ demands, or freeing up our mind of the “clutter” of stuff that needs doing).
Clarify and organize
Before we do any of it… we need to:
Clarify – process what it means
Organize – put it where it belongs
For each item we have captured, we ask:
What action needs to take place?
Follow this GTD guide
If it isn’t actionable, are you going to need it in the future for reference?
Avoid becoming a digital hoarder
How I store files related to class content and specific classes
Don’t get carried away with folders, especially email, because as we read more on our mobile devices, pretty long to scroll through.
Dropbox debuts file commenting; rolls out “badge” for collaborating on Microsoft documents
Evernote/OneNote: another place not to get carried away with folders. Work, personal, reference + any shared notebooks (i.e. bondbox)
Actionable tasks
Put it into a trusted system, so you can consider it in relation to all your other priorities.
