It's final's week here and on top of grading papers from all my courses, I've got two (out of three) novel-length theses to evaluate as part of our MA Program in Writing Popular Fiction. So I'm too busy to blog. But I did want to quickly link to what appears to be an interesting resource -- The Gallery of Teaching and Learning from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The gallery features exhibits of the scholarship of teaching for k-12 and higher ed. A lot of these exhibits utilize a free online teaching portfolio organizer from Carnegie's Knowledge Media Lab called the KEEP Toolkit which promises to "Turn 'Stuff' [like syllabi, course papers, analytical studies, etc. from a class case study] into a Succinct, Appealing and Engaging Format." You can see snapshots of the work here. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported on this gallery in 2001, and though I don't see any activity on the site in 2004, it still seems like the toolkit could be a useful way to organize and disseminate a case study, particularly for teachers who aren't wizards of HTML. Seems like there's a lot one can learn from the gallery, just browsing around... and, of course, the Carnegie Foundation's awesome e-library is a must-see resource, as well (and I don't use the word "awesome" lightly). Good summer reading, once I finish these papers....
