• Yes, Chrome definitely needs to support the Google Toolbar or the integrated functions of such. I was trying to bookmark a page into my Google bookmarks. It can be done -- but it takes a lot of steps.
• Week 1 down -- 14 to go. I'm really liking my two classes this semester. The academic administration drains my batteries (some days a lot faster than others) but the teaching recharges. I'm teaching spiritual formation and a Christian doctrine class. I'm really enjoying having Suzanne Bratcher (retired NAU English professor) team-up with me in spiritual formation. We're using the reading reflection assignments to also coach students in writing skills. Integration.

Hey Brad, did you post your reading lists for your classes like in years past? I like to see what your students are reading.
Spiritual Formation: The Jesus Creed (Scot McKnight) & The Life You've Always Wanted (John Ortberg).
Christian Doctrine 3 doesn't have a textbook because the students are in essence writing their own. They are researching local religious movements using what they've learned in the first two doctrine classes to make assessments of the groups and movements. They'll be presenting their papers to the class and making presentations. I've never given them this much responsibility so I'm not quite sure what is going to happen.
