Lib 3: Summer 2008 LIB 3 Class

I have a wonderful class of 30 students this summer semester. LIB 3 is always one of my favorite classes to teach - the students are generally quite enthusiastic and it feels like we work together as a team. It is always cool to see the responses I get from students who are creating their first blog.

I have many different teaching ideas about online courses and utilizing blogs is one tool that I would like to see more. Unfortunately I only use blogs in LIB 3 so far. Maybe I'll introduce it in other courses as well.

Research topics are coming up this week - let's see what topics will be brought up. My favorites are always current social topics, things that are sort of new in today's world. Let's see, an example... combating child obesity, anything involving the internet and society (Web 2.0 impact, etc.), and my new favorite Smoking Cessation (my father recently was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and i'm angry about his smoking addiction being the cause of this disease). Things I hope we don't see because they are SO common -- abortion, teen pregnancy, school uniforms, euthanasia.

Blog reflections are a new component for this course. I've decided to do my own reflections as well! Hence this post. :)
