How Did Economists Get It So Wrong? - NYTimes.com on 2009-10-08
Education World ® Technology Center: Teaching Keyboarding -- When? Why? How? on 2009-09-20
- Most important is correct technique. With correct keying, speed will come automatically with time and use. Accuracy will come automatically by letting up on the speed. Emphasize correct technique only at these ages."
  - Jim Kleinhenz on 2009-09-20
    
    This seems to me to be correct. And it is important not to confuse the students with too many goals.
- As we perfect our skill through physical drill, whether it be piano scales or
  ballet barre exercises or DeNealian drill sheets or karate katas, the
  information is moved into deeper areas of the brain that bypass conscious
  thought.

- - "I would suggest that if you type words with meaning while learning to type,
    you are thinking about two things, the meaning and the motions," Pomerantz said.
    "This interferes with learning. Imagine trying to concentrate on emoting while
    doing barre exercises or on style, substance, and character development while
    practicing handwriting."

    Interesting
  - However, in the very beginning stages, they also need to occasionally look back
    and forth to their keyboards to develop their eye-hand coordination. When
    students switch to copying text off a printed page -- if it is introduced too
    early -- they struggle to keep their eyes on the text, and they lose this
    important feedback
    Jim Kleinhenz on 2009-09-20
    
    This is interesting. Copying from a book may be counter productive if it is done too soon in the learning process because it hinders feedback
  - Ignore all errors at this time -- except for errors in technique

    The message: technique should be the only thing the students are doing.
  - Explain to students that the memory is in the muscles
    Jim Kleinhenz on 2009-09-20
    
    Students don't get this.
  - "Students learn initially using subvocalization, so they shouldn't listen to
    music or talk too much during this time; it will interfere with the
    subvocalization process, which is important to their learning
    Jim Kleinhenz on 2009-09-20
    
    Subvocalization--what is that exactly? Repeating the letters silently?
  - Keyboarding cannot be taught in isolation. Students need to know they are
    expected to have their hands on home row keys every time they are typing at the
    computer, not just in keyboarding class
    Jim Kleinhenz on 2009-09-20
    
    Yes, but the students do have to get other work done.

What Should Colleges Teach? - Stanley Fish Blog - NYTimes.com on 2009-08-31
- that unless writing courses focus exclusively on writing
- the composition establishment
  - Jim Kleinhenz on 2009-08-31
    
    he's kidding, right?
- 2 more annotations...
- - And credit for requiring composition will not be given for courses that are
    “writing intensive” (there is a significant amount of writing required but the
    focus is on some substantive topic), or for courses in disciplines other than
    English and composition (often termed “writing in the discipline” courses), or
    for courses in public speaking, or for remedial courses
  - It can’t be an alternative way of teaching writing to teach something else
    (like multiculturalism or social justice).

- First, books remain the most effective technology for organizing and presenting sustained arguments at a relatively general level of discourse and in familiar rhetorical forms — narrative, thematic, philosophical, and polemical — thereby helping to enrich and unify otherwise disparate intellectual conversations.
- Second, university presses specialize in publishing books containing hard ideas
- 5 more annotations...
- - First, include on our lists more titles from the burgeoning professional disciplines: engineering, law, medicine, architecture, business, the graphic arts, and the information sciences
  - Third, publish more books for worldwide readerships.
  - ork more closely with departments and centers within our host universities to adapt their work — sponsored lecture series, etc. — into books, monograph series, and other such initiatives
  - While naysayers may argue that publishing more books on the professions subverts the university press's historical commitment to the humanities and culture, one could counter that those professional fields are themselves coming to define culture
