Mostly just because she's so grumpy about it and also has a very good response.

Didn't we have a conversation about "innovative" teaching at some point? Isn't that all part of the progress ideology? No need to be creative even a little. You can lecture like the Sophists or you can ask questions like Socrates. Everything else is either personal style or bells and whistles. We want to do one of two things when we teach: transmit information, or stimulate thought. Preferably both. Since thousands of years ago this has been what education is. Btw when the bean counters show up and ask you to self-assess your innovative teaching, describing Socrates and plugging in your own topics ALWAYS works. The other thing that works is lecturing via a technology. Describe the technology and its imaginary appeal to techno-savvy students rhapsodically and you're home free. Relax!

This aptly-named meme thing feels a little too much like a chain letter to be entirely comfortable. But I've enjoyed seeing and reading the responses so far, and appreciate your retrieval of the buxomly virginal Marianne au combat for pedagogical inspiration. Thanks. I share your goals. I also agree with my students when they begin to get the point and, faced with the awesome responsibility of freedom, flinch in dismay. Sorry man.
