So I was minding my own business, and I happened across a term that conjured up thoughts of stature-challenged horse-riders competing for first place. I had never heard of Google-Jockeys before (thanks Educause). It makes me wonder how hard it would be to do in a live (synchronous) online class . . ..
“A Google jockey [...]
In a recent class we were discussing this topic and a student observed that copying someone’s stuff was not at all uncommon in their facet of the CJ profession (the real world). In a three week period, I’ve been in a similar conversation with professionals in three separate (though related) fields, regarding writing various proposals [...]

Been “organizing” my day lately, closed out a few classes (tests, paper grading, etc.) and building on my margin (see McClusky’s theory of margin). I’m in a dilemma regarding my move toward higher ed. I am scheduled to attend a doctoral program in a couple weeks, but some of the parameters changed. In any case, [...]
Opened the accounts – been meaning to for a while. I have tons of stuff going on (not shocking) but that should slow in the next couple days — at least for a couple weeks.
I’m in the organization process – my main site is at carterfsmith.com
