We just finished discussing how laptops can be problematic because you can't tell what a person is doing. They may be taking notes, but they may also be used for playing games, surfing the internet, etc...this concerned many people in the class. They didn't like the idea that you can't tell whether or not someone is paying attention.
During this conversation, I was playing Tetris.
*Update*
Highlights from tonight's class: our 60+ year old teacher asked someone what "slammin" meant, as someone else had used that word to describe another student's pants. The student replied, "Slammin' is like bangin'."
Yeah, that probably helped him understand it.
Later, someone was talking about thongs. They meant flip-flops, but the word confused a few other people. One student chose to enlighten the professor: "That's a girl's underware."
Nice.

Good for you. That's probably what I would be doing.
why didn't i go to UVSC? we never talked about girl's underwear at BYU...
Playing Tetris is interesting, but were you winning?
BH--yeah, you would've had a whole different education at UVSC.
SP--sadly, it was SO boring that I was unable to even focus on my tetris, so I gave up. Then I did some indexing for a while.
Can I comment on your blog, even though I haven't seen you in years?
I used to call flip-flops thongs, until thongs got popular and people started looking at me strangely.
I'm guilty too, I never pay attention in Geography ... too many things to surf on the web! Too bad BYU blocks YouTube, then for sure I wouldn't learn!
