Hiatus end; new blog focus

Dear readers,

I haven't posted here at Tablet Pedagogy in over a year. Thank you for your patience! After a summer break (2018) and earning tenure, I spent fall 2018 on a sabbatical leave. As I was not teaching for that half year and was focusing on advancing the biology research side of my career, I did not generate many new thoughts to share here.

Now, I'm back in the saddle! I have two graduate courses this semester. Having now started teaching both (once) at this time, I'm already elated to share a new idea for a first-day-of-class approach.

I'm also happy to share that my philosophy of effective teaching has been shifting over the last few years, as it should. If you are a regular reader, you probably noted that my initial posts here at Tablet Pedagogy were all about the use of mobile technology in classes. Lately, my interests have grown beyond technology itself to the appropriate use of technology, as well as many other pedagogies and approaches, to achieve the goal we're all after: improved student outcomes.

The result of this shift is that I will be posting most of my new content on a separate blog. At this time, I feel it is best for me to abandon the "Tablet" moniker here and to brand my thoughts more broadly.

At my new blog, I will continue to proffer ideas about effective education. Hence, I welcome you to continue to join in the conversation with the EduProffer:
