If they flip a paper page, they're where they need to be.<br /><br />I may rewatch Mad Men, but for right now: Silicon Valley, which is hilarious, and House of Lies, which is profane and hilarious. Fun fact: the actor who played Paul Kinsey on MM is on House of Lies in a small part. undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-32651827724067059842015-06-24T13:27:20.181-07:002015-06-24T13:27:20.181-07:00By the way - what are you watching now that Mad Me...By the way - what are you watching now that Mad Men is over?

When I point out passages in a text, I refer to page numbers. If they can't follow along, because they can't get to p. 85 quickly enough (or at all), then they are screwed when it comes to revisiting that quote prior to exam time. (This particularly relates to Humanities, because I will give them several quotes with page numbers and then ask them test questions on any one or two of those. Without the page numbers, they're screwed.) So whenever a student writes to me and asks about using an ebook version, I always say that it could impact their grade if they do and explain the quote thing. If Kindle et al would simply use page numbers, students could do whatever they wanted. <br /><br />But then, I'm a page flipper. I go back and forth a lot when I'm reading, so I doubt that I will ever use an ereader. Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.com
