The first two weeks of school, fall semester, have been a little more hectic than I like. The two courses I am teaching this fall are, Knowledge Structures and Information Seeking Behaviors. KS is open to undergrads (seniors) too. While running around pulling coursework together I've been forced by other circumstances to reflect and research about technology, privacy, expertise, law, and authority. IT is so pervasive, invisible, ill-understood, and mis-understood that the honest lack of understanding laws like the DMCA is scary and with totally terrifying potential for individual rights. My students in Knowledge Structures will be participating in the GROW digital library project (building a Civil Engineering digital library). comment []7:44:15 PM     Teaching 9-11 has curriculum, lesson plans for university students too...there is a course at Harvard U that grapples with American national identity, an International Relations one at Stanford that tries to understand the causes, contexts and consequences of the 9-11 attacks.  comment []7:32:53 PM     Remembering 9-11. Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero, a Frontline (TV) show. I didn't watch it and I didn't spend too much reading this. I spent more time at Teaching 9-11 - unfortunately the link for ASU's courses teaching 9-11 did not work. comment []7:28:10 PM
