And hopefully a new class to teach soon! I've updated my resume and actually sent it out to one job posting.
Meanwhile, I'm completing some "remdial" reading. Shortly before my son landed in the ER I had ordered Iain McGilchrist's 2-volume work, "The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World". It says a lot about how the left and right hemispheres work with a lot of implications for effective learning (and teaching).
I finished most of Volume 1 while sitting in the hospital watching my son sleep on and off. When he was awake he hallucinated and I spent my time trying to bring him back to earth. Then while he napped I'd read more about what creative realities your brain comes up with when only part of it is working. When reading, from time to time I'd glance up at him, now slumbering, and think, "Yep, that's right on! So true! You're not kidding!"
More to follow.
