rebeccmeisterTeaching 280 students means a lot of e-mails. At least I'm on campus, with fast, functional internet.
Also, technology sucks and it never works right. Specifically: content management systems for learning applications, the integration of multiple CMSes, clicker software, Microsoft products in general, and SSO systems.
Also, I am not a fan of the ways that textbook publishers do business. This is linked to my hatred of other businesses that prey on students. There are many, and they all suck.
If we had a large blackboard, I would totally use it to teach. Unfortunately, all that we have is a video projector system. Those are terrible for left-handed people like me, because students can't see what I am writing while I write it (my hand covers the words I have just written).
