Hey, maybe I'll even hit that "comfortable" mark. <BR/><BR/>I feel as though this could be one of the greatest running jokes the history department has ever seen.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287240758137838109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10303765.post-13887985625525661632008-01-22T13:25:00.000-05:002008-01-22T13:25:00.000-05:00It definitely sounds like a productive conversatio...It definitely sounds like a productive conversation is underway.<BR/><BR/>I always like to run with the idea and model of 'play' as a means to pitch (read: ditch) rote models of the classroom task or a routine that has fallen into the rut of the overly-familiar. <BR/><BR/>Play offers a 'curious interplay between order and disorder' (Henricks 2006: 14) that makes for a very productive scene.

One could hope.<BR/><BR/>Right now some people might be closer to paralyzed than uncomfortable, but I think as the semester continues as we get more adventurous people will be more comfortable into venturing into the unknown.<BR/><BR/>I'm also contemplating creating t-shirts for this class and "Uncomfortable, but not paralyzed" is definitely going on it. : )Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13740318163810306746noreply@blogger.com
