Aardvark

With Google's recent acquisition of Aardvark, I wanted to give it a try and see why they bought it. Aardvark is a website that lets you ask questions and get answers. I could describe it more, but that's what it is. You submit a question and then aardvark searches for a user that might be able to answer it.

At first, I wondered how this differed than just searching for answers online. I decided to ask it questions whose answers I couldn't find by searching with Google. I thought I might be able to get a good response. Out of all the questions I asked, all the answers were unhelpful or showed that the answerers did not understand the questions. Some were just flat out ridiculous. I think that the concept is interesting, but so far, it isn't helpful.

Standing Desk

Image
I've read all about standing desks. I like them. I'm never going to be a full-time stander though. I like to stand and work on days that I don't stand in front of a classroom all day. But, after 4 hours of teaching, I prefer to sit. I'd seen this great Ikea hack  a while back about a cheap standing desk . We went to ikea this weekend, so I decided to give it a try. I switched out some of the ingredients mentioned in the aforlinked article . I used $3 brackets and a $1.99 shelf. I also went with the black-brown look. Lack side table  - $9.99 Ekby Valter - 2 X $3.00 Ekby Laiva - $1.99 It was still under $20! Hopefully it will continue to work for me.

Why do Interfaces always change?

It's been a long time since I have written anything. I logged into the new blogger today with it's new interface. I upgraded to Lion with it's newer interface. Why do people always change the interface? Why are there so many themes, skins, or whatever you call them? I think I might have an answer. Really I've boiled it down to two possibilities. First, perhaps the new interface is "better." I'm assuming that software giants like Google and Apple do market research and usability testing. Then again, they might not. Better said, they don't do it the way I think they should. Perhaps they get feedback via email or other communications. Maybe the designers who use the software just realize that somethings need to change. The reason I think that they do it though, is to prevent the appearance of stagnation. If gmail still looked the same as it did when they released it, people would think that it was old and out of date. However, I don't remember two...

Dana Ferris at BYU

The Linguistics and English Language Department at BYU is sponsoring a lecture series on second language literacy. Today, Dana Ferris was the speaker. It was great to here her speak. She is a very intelligent person with a clear perception of the field. She provided some very helpful insights about teaching. She listed 10 things she feels are the most important in developing literacy. Extensive reading Vocabulary Development Text Selection Reading Strategies Reading/Writing Assessment Peer Response Teacher Feedback Grammar Instruction Written Corrective Feedback Collaboration Among Faculty One of the things that I enjoyed about her was her attitude toward working with others. She said we don't need be prideful and that we don't need to have a chip on a shoulder. We should be willing to work with English departments and all departments to help ESL student write better. This really stuck out to me. We, as ESL professionals, don't know everything. She also ...
