Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. (Will Rogers)
Offensive, strongly disagree or disapprove
8 minutes
For the first time in nearly a decade and a half, I got a blog unsubcribe notice that selected "Offensive, strongly disagree or disapprove" as the reason. It's like some of those negative responses we get in student evaluations, isn't it?

Oops, it's not only women who can be pregnant. There are men and non-binary people, for example, who can have a uterus and be pregnant. An apology.

A combination of science courses (enough to qualify you to teach at the college level) and courses in contemporary instructional practice, this program helps you be your best in both on-campus and remote teaching. Kevin Patton is a faculty member in this program at Northeast College of Health Sciences. Check it out!
Mind's Eye: Phantasia
8.5 minutes
Mental imagery—the mind's eye—is not experienced by everyone in the same way. For some, it's vivid and detailed and for others, it may not be there as a picture at all. It's a spectrum of abilities among humans, apparently. Phantasia is another name for this ability.

Mental Imagery in Slides
13.5 minutes
How does the concept of phantasia—the mind's eye or mential imagery—apply to how we design slides for teaching? Yes, it's yet another segment from the bottomless pit of Kevin's pet theories of how slides should be used in teaching.
