Kirbyvariety1 and 2 websites

If you read my blogposts, you probably know that each post appears on the Google blog site.  More people look at the posts on the blog site than get a copy in their email.  The total number of pageviews is approaching one million but that is since the first posts appeared in March 2008. The name of the blog (from “web log”) is Fear, Fun and Filoz, my attempt to suggest thoughts and items about worries and pleasantries and comments about them.

I sometimes feel that my daily blog is somewhat like a newspaper or magazine, being a place for immediate and short-term subjects. I want to point out that I have another place of information, one that serves more like a filing cabinet.  Kirbyvariety1 and Kirbyvariety2 are Google websites where I have information that may be seen as longterm.  Much of the information that appears on the website pages relates to various courses I taught between 1968 and 2005 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.  

Once I was teaching in a certain classroom on campus a class for graduate teachers.  Teachers all over the US can often get raises if they earn a master’s degree, beyond their bachelor’s degree or get a doctorate.  Somebody from the campus department of information technology mentioned that the certain classroom was equipped with distance education tools that could allow teachers in a classroom 90 miles away to see and hear the lessons I taught.  Most graduate teachers are older adults who know themselves and adulthood.  The thought of such students gathering in a classroom right in their school after their teaching day ended to listen and learn was wonderful instead of not only driving 90 miles dodging deer and other animals on the road but driving 90 miles back home.  

Information, explanation could be made available using the school computers as well as increasingly affordable home computers and community businesses offering internet connections to schools and homes.
