Filing 'Teachable' moments
What are the chances? two reference questions that touched on two very different aspects of my past research. I was able, without consulting external resources.
Historical Atlas that shows events of the 18th century in western europe. Was able to remind student of a resource I hadn't used in over 10 years, back when I was teaching historical geography of Europe.
treatment of women in shakespeare's time -- directed student to New Historicism and stephen greenblatt.
This experience needs to be filed as I prep for interviews as a teachable moments. And speaking of teachable moments, have been confronted with a spectacular one, as I failed to be shortlisted for position that I've been doing for several years, and had developed an excellent rapport with the folks I was meant to serve, but perhaps not so much with my team mates. Tricky one. Siomebody moved my cheese, and I'm expected to make lemonade. Watch this space, as I try to reinvent myself. I've been told in the past I have a good broadcasting voice. What of the voice of Information Literacy. What shall I call myself? Open to suggestions,
