Ryan Goble's Comments

Thanks so much for your suggestions of discussions here to read. I just had a chance to visit the discussions and read various posts; I have been "lost" in them for the past hour. Boy, will my boss be mad. ;-) You do amazing work -- thank you for sharing!

Hi Ryan-- Thanks for this great site-- but-- who put my "photo" up there? Is that to encourage my own profile posting update with a photo?

Thanks Ryan! We've heard wonderful things about you in the MAC program! And luckily I'm a great candidate to teach STEM, although I don't have experience with it. I'm a former engineer now majoring (and pre-student teaching) in both Math and Physics. woop woop!

I'm a little slow with this ning thing since I just started but I can't wait to give it a better look around!

GO HAWKS!

She is amazing - great fun to hear about what she's doing!

I'm writing a chapter which mentions this Ning and, in particular, your great job facilitating. Happy to quote you if you'd like to pass along your insights about keeping a Ning buzzing...?

Awesome...LOVE it! Thanks for the tip....
Kathie

Ok, I will start on that. Thanks!!

Ryan,
I have a little bit of a problem. I have not yet heard from the teacher I sent an email to about an interview. This means that I do not know if I will have a completed interview on Tuesday. Do you have any suggestions about what I should do?

Yeah, I can tell your site is very modern and interesting. I've already forwarded the "Graphic Novels & Comics" group to a classmate. It was actually our teacher who showed us this site, and seeing from my classmate Jessica Egan, I'm sure many more of us will be joining soon!

As for Bobby, there's no hope. I've let that idea go a long time ago...

I don't think I can! Whether it's the UK version or the US version, I'm obsessed! :)

P.S., This place is amazing! I'm also a part of English Companion Ning; between the two of these groups, I'm in pre-service heaven!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the CA tip! Deadline for manuscript for Film is December 10 - hoping you're going to submit because I love your writing style and energy, as well as your ideas!

best,
debbie

Goble speaking of health... I would like to share some wonderful news with you. As of Monday, my donor was approved and I am now 100% good to go to receive a kidney transplant! It's been a long and difficult process but it is finally going to happen. We are looking at December 17th. So happy birthday, happy hanukkah and merry Christmas to me. Let me know when you make it here.

Cool, I'll check those two groups out, thanks.

Goble I must say that I was watching the Michigan and Indiana game this weekend and that your quarter back did look quite impressive. It is going to be fun when the Hawks play them under the lights here at Kinnick in two weeks. Should be interesting! Also, I wanted to say happy Yom Kippur to you since last time I checked, you were still an honorary Jew.

Thanks for introducing me to the community, Ryan. Looking forward to looking around.

hey here is doc 1- intro to UBDubdintro.pdf

Thanks, I'm going to go exploring later. Specifically, I'm doing a unit on the hero's journey. We're not reading Homer, but we have read some myths and looked at historical figures. We watched Star Wars and mapped out Joseph Campbell. They are reading independent reading books. None of them chose graphic novels for that, which sort of surprised me. But, they are mainly interested in the gang life/ surviving getting out, etc. In the end, they are going to develop a hero's journey tale to "pitch" to be a film and write reflections of how they are on their own journeys. I haven't gotten to look at your links yet, but I have a feeling that there will be stuff there already. Thanks so much.
