Podcast Episode 5

It's been a while since my last podcast (there goes my brilliant plan of one a week over the summer, huh?) Episode 5 is supposed to get me back in the groove. Some notes on Google Reader, blogs I recommend, and substitute teaching.

And if anyone has noticed, I mixed up my Pedagogy in Practice Podcast feed file with the one for the ONE Campaign in Fort Collins. It's fixed now, sorry about that.

NaNoWriMo

Last year, much to my jealousy and . . . other adverbs, my younger brother particiapated in National Novel Writing Month. He wrote an over 50,000 word novel.

As an English major, I was not very happy being shown up by some punk high school senior. But I was.

And many are. NaNoWriMo has a student novel writing program, if you're wondering what to do in class next month. I know I'd feel pretty cool writing a novel in middle or high school.
