Why Do We Still Care About Shakespeare? | Ovations | UTSA's College of Liberal and Fine Arts Magazine By Cindy Tumiel Four hundred years have passed since William Shakespeare penned his last play. Yet his prose, plots and characters are as alive today as they were when the plays were originally staged during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Shakespearean works are required reading for high school English students and a course or two for college students who study writing or literature. For two of UTSA’s eminent literary scholars, the bard of Avon’s enduring appeal is an enduring topic as well. The answer is simple for Craven, a professor emeritus at UTSA who taught his first Shakespeare course back in 1965. “He is the greatest dramatist, the greatest poet and the greatest prose writer in the history of the language,” said Craven, who teaches undergraduate courses in Shakespeare and has seen all of his plays performed at least once. Alan Craven Mark Bayer, an associate professor and chair of the Department of English at UTSA, agreed. A Man of His Times Mark Bayer

What's Wrong With Google Telling Me Everything? The topic of Critical Thinking and Google Searches seems to poke it's head out via various discussions and conversations every now and then. Even on #edchat last night the topic centered around moving kids away from thinking Google has all the answers to thinking critically. First let me clarify. I use the term Google Searches loosely. That has come to mean all searches but there are obviously other search engines out there (Like Bing and Yahoo) that are still relevant and used in schools. But by far, Google is the most popular search engine around. So my question is, what's wrong with the fact that Google is able to tell me everything I need to know? I am having trouble remembering what I did before search online. So what would have taken 5 minutes of searching, now takes seconds. So I ask whats wrong with Google (or any other search engine) telling me the answers I seek? I don't think there is anything wrong with asking questions search engines can answer. What do you think?
The Hawblog nipédu Peut-on vraiment accueillir son fils ou sa fille en classe et passer une année sereine ? Les enfants de profs réussissent-ils vraiment mieux que les autres ? La progéniture des collègues est-elle plus difficile à gérer en classe ? Et surtout : est-il plus simple de faire les devoirs avec ses mômes quand on est profs ? Dans cet épisode, on parle de ceux qui sont nés avec une règle dans une main et un dictionnaire dans l’autre, de celles qui ont vu des copies à corriger sur la table du salon toute leur jeunesse, de celles et ceux qui ont le stylo rouge en héritage. Pose ta question à Nipédu : William E. White: Team America The republic is not a football game. It is not team Democrat against team Republican. Recent presidential campaigns constantly overused the analogy. We saw the Obama Truth Team on Facebook and @TeamBarackObama on Twitter, pitting their forces against America's Comeback Team and @TeamRomney. Perhaps this type of competitive spirit is understandable in a political campaign, but why does the sports team rhetoric continue in such force after the election? The news media is all-aflutter this month as Obama builds his "team" for the second administration. There is now a Team Boehner website. The United States of America is not a sporting event. Let's stop teaching our children that sports is the analogy for everything in life. The vital life-giving debate within our communities, our states, and our republic is not built on "debate team rules." It all starts at home and in school. Communicate with your elected officials -- local, state, and federal.

Book Review: Ataturk in the Nazi Imagination Ataturk in the Nazi Imagination by Stefan Ihrig Harvard University Press, 2014 Stefan Ihrig’s fascinating book Ataturk in the Nazi Imagination provides an extremely detailed reminder of the fact that in his dreams of a victoriously ultra-nationalist Germany, Adolf Hitler had a very salient model in mind beside the more well-known one of Mussolini’s Italy: throughout his years as a radical fringe-politician and as Fuhrer of the Nazi state, Hitler was fascinted by the example of Mustafa Kemal, who led his native Turkey against the Entente powers in World War I and won the Turkish War of Independence, which concluded in 1923 with the Treaty of Lausanne. “If we are to believe Hitler,” Ihrig writes, Ataturk was his “shining star” in the darkness of the 1920s. German affiliation with the Ottoman Empire (out of the corpse of which the new state of Turkey was carved) went back to before Hitler was born, of course.

2012 Election Lessons: Unit Plan, Activities and Projects Welcome to Election Week on The Learning Network. With the Republican National Convention beginning on Monday and the Democratic National Convention starting on Sept. 3, the race for the White House is coming into its final months, and we’ve created a flexible Election 2012 Unit we hope will help you plan ahead. We’ll be publishing new parts of this unit all week, each section of which is based around an “essential question” and intended to work with any day’s Times — and to be easy to adapt to your curriculum, time frame and students. We’re also introducing a contest, which runs from now until Sept. 21. To enter, students age 13 to 25 just have to answer the question, How Would the Presidential Campaigns Change if the Voting Age Were 13? — a question that is also at the heart of our teaching unit. Below, a broad overview of the unit. Finally, tell us how you’re teaching about this election. 2012 Presidential Election Unit Overview Overall Theme What if the voting age were lowered to 13?
