Old meets new…

HandgradingI am on the train from Philadelphia to Virginia, and checking the postings in the online teacher training course I am leading.  I look across the table of the cafe car I am in and lo and behold…

While I am responding to students in my online teacher training course on my latpop via Verizon’s data network, another teacher sits across from me hand grading final exams - copies of typewritten final exams.

Did I mention they were typewritten?

I have nothing against good old face-to-face instruction.  But if you’re using an exam that was created on a typewriter, chances are it’s about 20 years old.Â
