2006-2007 teaching carnival series

2006-07-03T19:32:00.000-04:00

Last year's series of Teaching Carnivals went very well due to the excellent efforts of nine volunteers (plus me) who gathered hundreds of individual blog posts related to teaching in higher education. I'd like to start lining up hosts for the forthcoming year, and I believe we can start hosting these once every two weeks.

If you are interested in hosting, gmail me at georgehwilliams. I would also greatly appreciate it if you would post a notice on your own blog letting people know I'm looking for volunteer hosts.

Previous Carnivals:

#10 Raining Cats & Dogma (June 20, 2006)
#9 Adventures in Ethics and Science (May 14, 2006)
#8 A Delicate Boy (Apr 15, 2006)
#7 The Salt-Box (Mar 15, 2006)
#6 Science & Politics (Feb 15, 2006)
#5 Ancarett's Abode (Jan 15, 2006)
#4 New Kid on the Hallway (Dec 15, 2005)
#3 Scrivenings (Nov 15, 2005)
#2 scribblingwoman (Oct 15, 05)
#1 thanks for not being a zombie (Sept 1, 05)

and there was great rejoicing...

2006-06-21T19:15:00.000-04:00

...as the 10th edition of the Teaching Carnival rolled into town.

if anyone wants to volunteer to do the next one, let me know.

I was thinking we might wait until fall semester starts up again, but if anyone wants to give it a go sooner, that's fine with me.

Additionally, if any bloggers would like to sign up for hosting the carnival some time during the next academic year, then step right up! It's never too soon to get in the queue.

10th edition of teaching carnival

2006-06-02T21:41:00.000-04:00

Ryan Claycomb, of Raining Cats & Dogma fame, will host TC #10 sometime around or soon after June 15, 2006. Another Damned Medievalist suggested a year-end theme of "things I learned this year/changes I'm going to make next year."

So tag your posts, or email your permalinks to ryan DOT claycomb at the domain mail DOT wvu DOT edu.

As always, you can follow "Teaching Carnival Backstage" between editions of TC via del.icio.us or Technorati.

and lo, there was a teaching carnival!

how to tag for the teaching carnival

2006-02-15T14:21:00.000-05:00

It bears repeating.

You can get a free del.icio.us account and tag any relevant entries with "teaching-carnival."

Or you can use Technorati tags in the following way:

1. Include this code in the post you publish (you do not need to get a Technorati account to do this):
<p><span style="font-size:9pt;">technorati tag: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/teaching-carnival" rel="tag">teaching-carnival</a></span></p>

2. After you've published your post with the above code included, use this page to let Technorati know you've done so. Do not forget to do this second step!

Here is GZombie's post on how to tag your posts so that they stand out from all the chaff. In a nutshell, use Technorati tags, and/or get a (free) del.icio.us account and tag posts, your own or others, with a "teaching-carnival" tag.
