I’m going to be teaching a poetry seminar for National University’s no-residency, all-online MFA program starting in a week! I’m really excited and have been trying to teach myself the software and update my class content for the last two weeks. Incidentally, my mother, who is a PhD in Education with a specialty in educational technology, told me about National University’s cutting-edge program and educational software, and how they’re the ones being held up as an example of how online universities should work. They’re very strict about grading and their MFA program is criticism-heavy, although it only lasts a year and a half.
(A little bit of a stress factor: I thought the start date was October 6th, but it turns out it’s September 29th, the day we move in to the new apartment – eek!)
So wish me luck! I’m very excited about this foray into teaching, but nervous.

Also, Seattle-ites, tune in to KUOW today – I believe the show I’ll be on is called “Sound Focus” at 2 PM. I’ll be listening, as I missed the live show last time because I was out of town.
UPDATE: Here’s the link to the show!
