(Re)Teach

I talk about my personal journey on pricing my textbook and how I went from zero cost to charging, back to zero cost.  I then talk about the pluses and minuses of using iBook author to create my textbook.  I finish by talking about how creating a textbook helped me rethink my teaching and how I use multiple-choice questions.  I will give you part two next time :)

Embracing being awkward means fighting against systematic racism, white supremacy, patriarchy, and heteronormativism.  However, we are not fighting against the center to become the center.  We are fighting to establish a world that accepts our authentic selves as central to who we are but resists creating new norms for authenticity.

Will you accept my late work?  Many of us do not take late work from students, but will you accept mine?   In this episode, I reflect on all of the emotions that I am going through right now in my life and how they have led me to forget about doing this recording on time.   I hope you accept my late work.

Some very real reasons to write you own textbook:
1) You will never think more about your teaching
2) Imagine being in sync with your textbook
3) Focuses on what you like
4) It will be organized the way you like it
5) You can put equity at the center!

Three things helped me to understand that I was in the beginning phase of writing a textbook:
1) I found out that textbooks matter
2) I was spending a LOT of time developing my own examples because I did not like my textbook
3) I was developing handouts to go with the reader for the class
