I would like to extend my appreciation for all those who attended the blogging workshop on Moday and who have visited the blog over the past few days. Your willingness to participate, your sharing of ideas and the voicing of your conerns were an integral part of the workshop.

I hope that you will continue your exploration of the blogging tool and perhaps try it in one of your upcoming classes.

Welcome to the Blog Workshop presented by Dave Feldman for the Temple University Teaching and Learning Center. I have created this blog to demostrate the ease of use and potential value of this technology. I appreciate your participation in this workshop and hope you find value as we explore the medium together, Dave.

Sleeping on the Job

A colleague called me recently because he was frustrated about a student who was constantly sleeping in his class. The Instructor had a private conversation with the student who told him that he works at night to pay for school and doesn’t want to “miss the class”. The student is carrying a B average in the course and the Instructor does not know how to respond.

Have you had a similar experience in your class and what words of advice can you offer the Instructor?
