The Term Begins


New term. Some gloom. Missed the Poetry conference organised by Morag Styles at the British Library today and next day. Only read an email from Morag today that offered me a place...hmm - my fault - been to France.
Mark Betteney, a past MA in Literacy and Learning student, now working at London Met., has an article published in the Spring 2009 edition of English 4 - 11. I was glad to see that Mark's article has a critical edge. It's on the use of the Interactive white board. Cracking review of my little mini-book 'Poetry Matters' on the back of the same issue. I really like the idea of this journal, although I would like to read articles in it that are a little more daring and veer from the government line more often.
I'm giving a lecture on popular culture and digital literacy tomorrow to undergraduates. I wish someone had leaked the Rose Review intentions on twitters to me. I'm having to draw on the press - really tedious stuff about how twitters will be replacing the teaching of the Victorians...yawn.
