Support Videos

I’ve decided I’ve got to embrace my “good enough” vs. “polished” distinction for multi-modal teaching in yet another way. I’m increasingly making videos for people when they email me with the quick request “I don’t understand how to....” These are videos for both my students and my colleagues. I’m also developing an increasingly longer list of “I need to make a video showing how to do .... with ....” So I guess I’m starting up and repurposing an older blog, ”Keeping up with the Jetsons.” I’m going to either embed or link out to the videos I’ve made this far, and try to use my “blog-o-day” to play a little catch-up on the videos I’ve wanted to make. And although I would love to take the time to do more polished videos, as I made more polished videos for the textbook, I’m realizing I don’t have enough time in my day to do so. And to further rationalize my “laziness,” most of these technologies are changing fast enough that my videos will be outdated within a year or so anyhow. And why am I not doing this on my professional blog...I just want to keep the tags more or less within one blog.
