The first thing you do when you get to work is check the board to see if any of your friends have posted anything new. You guys know who you are. You assign your students "learning activities" to have an excuse to check the board. You have more people you consider to be your friends on the board than in the town you live in.
Sign #1: You create a message board post titled, "Signs You're A Paizo Messageboard Addict," and you waste valuable student learning time to feed your addiction. You should have your teaching certificate revoked.

Are you kidding? wasting student time is like 99% of teaching. the other 1% is learnign how to say "read chapter XX for wednesday" in a monotone.

I like the way his bile splattered all over the thread in a lovely pattern. Give it a 2.6? Maybe .7?

I would suggest that you read "The First Days of School" by Harry Wong. It spends a lot of time discussing how the more time a teacher spends working, the less time the students spend learning. If I put my students to work on "learning activities" then they are doing research and preparing presentations which make them actively involved in the learning process. More and more they are finding that lecture is one of the least effective ways of teaching. Almost without exception my students tell me that they have learned more from my class than from any other teacher.

I was kinda partially joking with my answer, but to be honest I have noticed that classes that give a bit of teaching at the beginning and then time to work on stuff in class are the ones that I benefit most from. as opposed to those that are an hour and half long lecture, which I almsot invariably becgin to write adventures during.

I was all the way joking with my first comment, but some people took it as an excuse to troll, so I used your comment as an excuse to offer explanation. Just so I am clear, I never have and I never will give my students an assignment for the purpose of having an excuse to check the messageboard. If they are given an assignment there is an academic reason behind it.

I had a history teacher that did something similar, only it wasn't the student news, it was just the normal CNN news. 15-20 minutes worth on average 3 days a week. when someone asked him why, he just pointed and said that this is history happening. it was pretty cool. he'd also explain that "history repeating itself" adage when things happened and point to where similar things have happened before for similar reasons. i forgot most everything that was actually talked about, but history repeating itself has become an inescapable truth for me.

In high school, we didn't watch CNN, it was Channel 2 news i think. Back when Lisa Ling was a part of the cast.
I was never interested in current events when I was in high school. It is a shame, though. I had no idea how useful they could be for adventure seeds.
Now, I watch CNN all the time. Never once thought of that. I will now, thanks!

I knew I didn't have to meet all of them, but Dangit I was going for 100% addiction and you stuck me with 95% addiction. How am I going to show my face at my next PA meeting, huh, answer me that?

What are these facts that you speak of? I find it is easier to just make it up as I go along.

What you may not know is that sebastian is just as Poodle as CourtFool -deep deep down- but he'll never admit it, so in a way, you are already a Poodle revolutionarie!
I thought Sebastian was more Pony than Poodle? Maybe he's like one of those freaky cross animals like an Owlbear: Poony or Ponyoodle or something. Bella Poodle maybe?
