A Season of Change...Switching One Hat for Another
Posted by Jason Dunn in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 10:45 PM
Since I originally announced my job with Spb Software House on this site, I felt it was right to announce that, effective today, I am no longer an employee of Spb Software House. I have the deepest respect for the developers there and the awesome work that they do, but the simple truth is that I no longer had the time to devote to doing my marketing work up to the level they deserve, so I stepped down as VP of Marketing. Running three Thoughts Media Inc. Web sites takes a tremendous amount of time, but I'm starting a new venture soon as well. I'll continue to be a fan of the great software Spb makes, only now I won't be paid for it. ;-) Now on to the other bit of news...
Beginning this Wednesday, I'll be teaching a class at Mount Royal College. The class will be New Media for Public Relations, and it will focus largely on online communications, Web site analysis, and basic digital media concepts. Three things that I love doing, and three things that I'll love teaching. ;-) And guess who will be in my first class of students? My wife Ashley. I can already hear the jokes flying... :lol: The class will be one three hour session a week, so it's not a big time commitment, but seeing as this is my first real teaching job, I'm sure I'll be spending extra hours outside of class trying to figure out what I'm doing. I spent a few hours at the college today getting set up with an ID card, parking pass, and all that good stuff.
In light of my new gig, I wanted to ask the teachers out there what sort of software they're using on their Pocket PC to assist them being a teacher. Lesson planning? Marking? What sorts of software should I be looking at loading up to make the most of my classroom experience? Oh, and any advice for first-time college teachers is welcome. :mrgreen:
