I've argued more than once that it's eye candy. If it's going to be used as anything more in the classroom, a teacher really has to be on his/her game.

And as enthusiastically as I introduced it to my staff (and folks from many many others in the area)... I think it has now jumped the shark in my building. I saw a huge display on a hallway wall today that was ohhhh so pretty- but lacked cognitive stones.

I think it makes sense mostly. But technology being THAT big? Wow. I think I also got the tags & categories slipped in there the way I did it... which certainly would make a difference. So here's mine then- http://nashworld.edublogs.org/about/ I'll have to do another. November likely changed things around a bit. I also see that "however" is fairly large in mine... sucktastic to be sure. ;-) Sean <abbr><em>Sean Nashs last blog post..<a href="http://nashworld.edublogs.org/2008/12/06/inspire-first-instruct-later/" rel="nofollow">Inspire First, Instruct Later</a></abbr></em> Heh- I actually did this back on the 1st of November.

Furthermore, it is most likely the case that parentheses (while not a priori improper) seem often to be used (in academic writing) as, according to many observers, a crutch for what could be referred to as lazy, sloppy prose; however, more research on this topic is almost certainly needed. <abbr><em>Jason Priems last blog post..<a href="http://jasonpriem.com/2008/12/feedvis-20-custom-visualization-for-your-feeds/" rel="nofollow">FeedVis 2.0: custom visualization for your feeds</a></abbr></em> Teny’s comment probably suggests that he may well be objecting to the first two P’s as perennial engines of what is generally agreed to be an academic game of what appears to be endless qualification; perhaps he would be likely to agree that simple, direct statements that actually stake a claim would, it could be argued, make for better writing.
