Did anyone else watch this as a kid? I was obsessed with it. I loved dinosaurs and I think I wanted to turn into a dinosaur like the host. lol 

Tbh though, until I watched it again last night I was never 100% certain if it was real or just a really vivid fever dream I had as a kid. It’s super weird, but awesome.

The first iPhone was released a little over twelve years ago. This means that students who entered college this year were about six years old when the iPhone came out, and although I certainly have memories of my life from before I turned six, I don’t have that many. If we aren’t yet at a point where new college students can’t remember a world without smartphones, we will be in the next couple of years, and it’s important for teachers to think about these things as they figure out the best approaches to use with their students. When I talk about the earliest years I remember, back before my family had cable television or a microwave oven (let alone a PC or the Internet), some of my students act like I’m talking about the dark ages, and that can be more than a little humbling ...

GISH HQ Topic of the Day: Is propaganda really just "educational programming" with an opinion bias? Discuss. gish.com #GISH

Item 197: (Up to 15 seconds) GISH IS GREAT! It’s shiny! It’s NEW! It’s… really freaking hard to market, so we’re outsourcing it to you. Make a 1950s-style, 15 second commercial for gish with a snappy jingle that gets stuck in your head & gets everyone you know to sign up in 2019.

What kinds of programs would you like to attend?

We’re about to have a staff meeting to create a slate of new adult programs for 2017. Last year, our owl walks and edible wild plants walk were very successful. Should we repeat those? Create new programs? What would you like to see us offer? 

The ABC’s of beekeeping with our expert beekeeper, John?

A presentation on the hows and whys of hunting with falcons? 

Learning to bird by ear? 

Astronomy night? 

What else?

Your code should contain useful  comments as well as your name, the date, and a brief description of what the program does.

It has been hours. This is a dirty trick and unfair autistic discrimination. I have comments, but are they useful? Are they useful enough? They are useful to me. What kind of brief description do you want? I didn’t enroll in a computer science class to be graded on my brief descriptions.

And I can’t calibrate any of my expectations because you haven’t graded my last assignment.

I hope they just check to see if things exist. Anything else would be far too time consuming. Right?
