Bulletin Boards
See bulletin boards were my way of getting my geek out informally. I could build displays and showcase something that people would peruse at their leisure. I could teach without teaching, create conversation without leading discussion, be artsy or creative or crazy. I was getting my educational geek out.
But I no longer have a bulletin board, I have course news. Students have to make a conscious choice to look at the page, they don't just walk by. I no longer get the satisfaction. I know that widgets and feeds are all the thing, but I still argue that the reader has to consciously look it isn't just there, part art - part function.
So can someone give me my bulletin boards back?
