Are your days by any chance longer than 24 hours?

Hello, everybody! I'm going to be very brave and post a couple of questions which have been blugging me for the last week or so: (Sorry, I meant ... blogging? Buggling? No, that wasn't the word either, but strangely enough, I can't remember what it was ... )

1 - Do you have some secret weapon which helps you do all this quickly enough to keep up, or it just my brain which is blogging? (Oops, boggling ... I think.)

2 - Do you see blogs everywhere, or is it just my eyes failing me after being online too long? (Oh my Blog, there's another one! Help!)

Bloggest wishes,

Your confused correspondent from Iran,

Susan (Blogger) Marandi %-D

I have the normal number of hours in a day.

I just have to be careful not to sleep more than 3 hrs a week. :D

Otherwise I begin to fall behind.

Oh, Nathan, that is soooo reassuring to hear; I thought it was only me! ;-)

(Actually, it's 3:30 am now and I have to be at work at 8, so you see we're in the same blog--boat, I meant!)

Sarah,
I'm in total denial about how much time I spend on the computer. Even my dog and cat are annoyed with me. I don't know how many times I've looked up and thought I would never make it through the day that had already begun!

Don't I know! I have God-knows how many papers waiting to be graded and oh-so-much other work I'm behind on, not to mention my having a neglected spouse and two neglected kids! (The cat gave up on me long ago!) *Now* I know what addiction is like! (Is this what you call a 'legal addictive stimulant'?

Thanks for your empathy! :-)

Another question requiring courage: Is teaching bad?

I've been attending all the discussions I could possibly find these days. (Believe it or not, today I simultaneously attended Michael Coghlan's talk at YM for the baw2005 group **and** the Tapped In session by Dana and the others for the weblogging group, because I was determined not to miss anything. I just hope I didn't sound too confused, trying to keep up with both!) Anyway, my point is this: In most of these talks, discussions, and conferences, I've received the impression that "teaching" is nowadays a no-no, and that classes should be run differently so as to encourage student empowerment, decision-making, etc. Of course, all our textbooks say the same, so it's no surprise to me, and to a large extent I agree, **but** I have to be totally honest and say that when I look back on my own learning experience, a lot of my best teachers were exactly that: *teachers* (in the traditional sense). I mean, they were authoritative and the center of the ...

Webheads and webloggers are amazing people!

For days now, I've been trying to catch up with my work for the two EVO 2005 sessions I've signed up for; namely "Becoming a Webhead" and "Blogs in ESL-EFL." And while I've been learning a lot (and yet never quite catching up!) and finding a lot to interest and amaze me, nothing I've learned so far amazes me as much as the people I've been meeting over the past 4 weeks! I've constantly felt overwowed (if you can come up with weird words like "wiki" and "blog," please don't grudge me my "overwowed" ;-) !!) by all the wonderful possibilities of technology and Computer-Assisted Language Learning, *but* put all those beside the amazing people I have met and they become pretty insignificant! Like usual, I'm too rushed to do justice to the effect you people have had on me, but I just couldn't disconnect today without sending a few words out into cyberspace and asking you all a question: Is it just tha...
